Pre-diabetes

Pre-diabetes typically has no noticeable signs or symptoms, making it difficult to detect without a blood test. It significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease and stroke. In Australia, about 16 out of every 100 adults are affected by pre-diabetes.

If your GP has diagnosed you with pre-diabetes, a diabetes educator can support you in making healthy lifestyle changes. These changes can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
