It is the pre-diagnosis of diabetes. Without lifestyle changes, people with prediabetes are very likely to progress to developing type 2 diabetes. <br><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosis of categories of prediabetes<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impaired glucose tolerance and Impaired fasting glucose are two entities in the causes of prediabetes <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed if 2 hour post glucose load plasma glucose is between 140-199 mg\/dl with a fasting plasma glucose value in the non-diabetic range. <\/li><li>Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is diagnosed if fasting plasma glucose is between100-125 mg\/dl <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals in these two\r\ncategories have increased risk of progressing to diabetes and are also\r\nconsidered to be at high risk of cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk factors<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same factors that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes\r\nincrease the risk of developing prediabetes. These factors include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Being overweight or obese<\/strong>: The more fatty tissue that is present, the less sensitive to glucose the cells become. This is one of the major causes of prediabetes. <\/li><li><strong>Excess fat around the abdominal region<\/strong>: For women, a waist size over 35 inches is linked to a higher prevalence of prediabetes. For men, a waist size over 40 inches is considered a risk.<\/li><li><strong>Age<\/strong>: Prediabetes can develop in anyone of any age, but the risk of pre-diabetes is thought to rise after the age of 45 years. This may be due to inactivity, poor diet, and a loss of muscle mass, which typically declines with age.<\/li><li><strong>Diet<\/strong>: Excess&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/161547.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carbohydrate<\/a>, especially sweetened foods or beverages, can impair insulin sensitivity over time. Diets high in red or processed meats are also linked to the development of prediabetes.<\/li><li><strong>Sleep patterns<\/strong>: People with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/178633.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">obstructive sleep apnea<\/a>&nbsp;have an increased risk of developing prediabetes.<\/li><li><strong>Family history<\/strong>: Having an immediate relative with type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing prediabetes<\/li><li><strong>Stress<\/strong>: During periods of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/145855.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stress<\/a>&nbsp;the body releases the hormone cortisol into the blood stream, raising blood glucose levels. <\/li><li><strong>Gestational diabetes<\/strong>: Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, and their children, are at a higher risk of developing the condition.<\/li><li><strong>Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)<\/strong>: Women with PCOS are more susceptible to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/305567.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insulin resistance<\/a>, which&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2683463\/\" target=\"_blank\">can lead to<\/a>&nbsp;prediabetes, <\/li><li><strong>Ethnicity<\/strong>: The risk of developing pre-diabetes tends to be higher for African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and Asian Americans. The reason remains unclear.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Causes of prediabetes <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In prediabetes &amp;\r\nType 2 diabetes, cells become resistant to the action of insulin, and pancreas\r\nis unable to make enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Instead of moving\r\ninto the cells where it&#8217;s needed for energy, sugar builds up in the bloodstream.\r\nExactly why this happens is uncertain, although it&#8217;s believed that genetic and\r\nenvironmental factors play a role in the development of prediabetes&amp;\r\ndiabetes . Being overweight is strongly linked to the development of type 2\r\ndiabetes, but not everyone with type 2 is overweight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eating healthy food,\r\nlosing weight and staying at a healthy weight, and being physically active can\r\nhelp you bring your blood glucose level back into the normal range.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prediabetes is defined when the blood sugar is elevated than the normal values but not yet high enough to be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[350,403],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs","category-preventive-care"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
