Prediabetes means your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. It usually has no obvious symptoms, so a blood test may be the first sign.
Small Changes Matter
- Eat Well: Choose balanced meals with vegetables, wholegrains and appropriate portions.
- Move Regularly: Build activity into most days and reduce long periods of sitting.
- Know Your Risk: Family history, inactivity and previous gestational diabetes can increase risk.
- Follow Up: Your GP can arrange appropriate testing and explain your results.
Early lifestyle changes can help reduce the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. A diabetes educator or dietitian can help you create a realistic plan that suits your health and routine.
