Pre Diabetic Situation - what does it mean?

Almost one out of seven of the people are in a pre diabetic state.
 

What is Pre Diabetic?
The disease by now exists in a person, but has not yet been diagnosed. This is the time to avoid diabetes from developing , through physical exercises, balanced diet and weight loss. About a third of the people who have diabetes, do not even know that the have the pre diabetic situation..The illness is finally uncovered by high glucose levels in the blood. However, it actually had covertly existed for a couple of years.

Is there someone in your family who has diabetes? Are you heavy? Do you dislike physical exercises? Together with you, there are many others who are included in a high risk category with the possibility of developing diabetes in the future.

How can we prevent this from happening?
Many latest studies have shown that you can delay or even stop diabetes as still in the pre diabetic state.

What is Pre Ddiabetic?
That is a state of concealed diabetes that shows up a few years before the appearance of type 2 diabetes and occurs about always ahead of diabetes is diagnosed. In the pre diabetic state the sugar level is higher than normal but not high sufficient to diagnose the illness.

How common is the pre diabetic?
About 15% of the population is in the pre diabetic condition. As the latest studies show, in this state long term damage takes place in the cardie-vascular system. Research has shown that taking preventive measures during the elevated sugar level stage may avoid the break out of type 2 diabetes in the future. This is the exact time to accept a healthy diet and to exercise; the two of them are suggested for diabetics.

What are the risk factors of developing pre diabetic ?
  •  Family history: brother or sister or parent with diabetes.
  •  Being overweight
  •  Not having physical activity.
  •  A women who gave birth to an overweight baby (over 9 pounds)
  •  Age: the risk is higher above the age of 45 and particularly over 65.
 How do you know if you are pre diabetic?
There are 2 diverse tests your doctor can use:
The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) and the
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

If it will be found that you are pre diabetic, is it for sure you would develop diabetes? This is a serious situation, which can be dealt with , and must be under supervision.

You can actually turn the clock back. Research has proves that it is possible to control the pre diabetic and the diabetic by doing modifications in their diets and increasing their levels of physical activity. Medications can slow the development of diabetes, but proper diet together with physical activity are more effective. 30 minutes of each day physical activity, with the right diet and losing 5-10% of the body weight reduces the appearance of new diabetic cases by 58%.
