Prediabetes is a health condition where your blood sugar (also called blood glucose) is higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. People with prediabetes also have an increased risk for stroke and heart disease.

Fortunately, with certain lifestyle changes related to food and exercise, people with prediabetes can often prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
