The first step in the development of type 2 diabetes is prediabetes, which means that the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be type 2 diabetes. However, the long-term damage of diabetes, especially to the heart, blood vessels and kidneys, may already be starting.
Furthermore, the same factors that increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, increase the risk for pre diabetes, including high blood pressure, family history of diabetes, and lack of physical fitness.
Some lifestyle changes can prevent the onset of prediabetes, and allow better management of type 2 diabetes.
