Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Approximately 96 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don't know they have it. More than 70% of people with prediabetes will go onto develop Type 2 diabetes at some point in their lifetime.
Yes prediabetes can be reversed by making diet and lifestyle changes! Particpiants in our program sometimes see their A1C levels drop from the prediabetic range to the normal blood glucose range. The National Diabetes Prevention Program has been shown to help people reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58% or more.
The best way to know if you are prediabetic is to talk to your doctor and get a hemoglobin a1c test. This test indicates your average blood sugar level for the past 2 to 3 months. In general: Below 5.7% is normal. Between 5.7% and 6.4% is diagnosed as prediabetes. You can also take the 1-minute risk quiz on our website to get a sense for if you are likely to be prediabetic.
Your likelihood of being prediabetic goes up if you have any of the following risk factors: you are overweight; are 45 years or older; have a parent, brother or sister with type 2 diabetes; are physically active less than 3 times a week; have ever had gestational diabetes or gave birth to a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds. Race and ethnicity are also a factor. African Americans, Hospanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, Pacific Islanders, and some Asian Americans are at higher risk. Take our 1-minute risk quiz on our website to see if you are likely to be predaibetic.
You need either a computer or smartphone to participate, but not both. Classes meet each week via live audio and video.
