What does a diagnosis of prediabetes mean?

According to the American Diabetes Association, prediabetes means that your sugar level is above the normal range, but it is not high enough to indicate that you have diabetes.

Among those who have prediabetes and do not take preventive actions, at least 30% develop type 2 diabetes, -when your body does not manufacture or do not use insulin well - within the next five years.

In Chile, the suspicion of Diabetes Mellitus reaches 12.3% of the population, according to the latest national health survey.Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that affects the way the body uses blood glucose.

But fortunately, the diagnosis of diabetes can be controlled or delayed by handling your blood sugar level with the help of a medical professional.

"The condition can be handled and put under control," says Douglas Barbieri, medical director of Diabetes at Abbott, "and if your glucose levels are within the normal range, with a management of lifestyle, the appearance of type diabetes type2 can be delayed for 3 to 4 years. ”

"Prediabetes is a condition that can be handled with the appropriate changes in your diet and exercise regime," warns the specialist.

Prediabetes: How to handle it
Both in prediabetes and in type 2 diabetes, your body becomes insulin resistant.This means that insulin hormone is not working well to introduce sugar (also called glucose) from your blood to give energy to your cells.According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 4, a higher level of sugar in your blood can take effect in many parts of your body.

A medical professional could request some tests to measure blood sugar and thus determine if you have real prediabetes or diabetes.

Dr. Douglas Barbieri delivers recommendations to control prediabetes and avoid getting diabetes:

Consider lowering 7% of your current weight.It is not necessary to lose too much weight to improve your blood sugar levels.According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and RenaDiabetes.Losing weight works, since it helps your body better use insulin.

A healthy diet can help lose weight if fruits, vegetables, lean proteins such as chicken and turkey without skin are included;Low foods in fat or fat, such as yogurt and milk, and grains such as oatmeal, quinoa and rice.

Start a physical activity routine.Studies have demonstrated the impact of exercise on the blood sugar level again and again.A review published in the Magazine Physical Activity and Health (Journal of Physical Activity & AMP; Health) found that people with prediabetes who started a physically active life managed to make the progression of the disease slower.

Making a quick walk or moderate exercise, such as swimming or riding a bike, can help lower blood sugar levels.Consider performing at least 30 minutes of exercise five days a week, remembering that yes not every exercise is suitable for everyone.

Before committing to physical activity, check with a medical professional how much and what kind of exercise is suitable for you.

Face an imminent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes can be depressing, but before letting negative emotions dominate you, put your energy in making changes that will improve your health.If you have a validated support and information system, you can work proactively for living a better and healthier life.

Exactly, prediabetes is not yet diabetes, and can send and disappear, simply with diet and exercise, without the need to medicate, which is not advisable in prediabetes, obviously if you do not take a change of diet and exercise you can finish in type diabetes type2, but with will and diet and exercise the prediabetes will send and you do not have to contract diabetes if you stay.
According to my doctor is what I surely have, a case of prediabetes, I did not prescribe pills but diet and exercise and new tests within three months.
Two or more east glucose between 105 and 126 is considered prediabetes, with respect to glycosiladIn the present, not the glycosilada who speaks only of your past, and even better if you carry a control with a glucometer to check measurements during the day.
If you are prediabetic there are many possibilities to make it disappear, even in some cases of DT2.
Unfortunately there are doctors who treat people who are not yet diabetic as diabetics, being prediabetic, and they prescribe pills that can bring them serious complications, you should not use prediabetes or a DT2 not very high, but diet and exercise.

They have already told you that prediabetes is never reversed only you can control it, as soon as you leave the strict diet and the exercise returns the "prediabetes" and this is said by all doctors with 50 years, so considerate "prediabetic"

Well, if @diabestico you can fool what you want, but it is what there is

That is why there is no prediabetes.It is DT2 with mild insufficiency, hence there are not very high glycemia and glycos values ​​not very excessive.
But never reversed, what you do is adapt your diet and exercise to what your pancreas gives you.When you spend a little, go up and over the years, old age, it is depleted, like everything in our body.
We become older, the body warns us.

PD I just put glasses per presbyopy 😞

I disagree!Many doctors say that prediabetes can be reversed and some people said it in this forum, it will depend on the case and how it acts!

Here you have it, page of the Disease Prevention and Control Center of the Government of Spain, it says it very clearly, that it is reversible, obviously if you reversed it and then make sedentary lifestyle and fans to sugar because you will return to the problem with a new prediabetes.

Obviously when you are already old, everything tends to work worse, but that is normal old age (which we do not know if we will arrive).
I have a child's bad view, I have astigmatism

Studies conducted by doctors of more than 50 years, say that type 2 diabetes appears at a "mature" age, from 45 years ..... because at that age I do not think that they are so old.And I insist and I will change the word to see if you understand me, the prediabetes once diagnosed does not disappear you can have it controlled with diet and exercise, but you continue to have it latent, to appear again as soon as you neglect the diet and exercise or the pancreas saySo far HW arrived and this does not necessarily occur at 70. Then it would be consistent to say that he who has prediabetes, controlled or not a prediabetic and will never cease to be

It is not so, and I think you make a terminological error, what never disappears is the propensity to have prediabetes, not the prediabetes itself, the prediabetes can make it reverse and disappear, the propensity to have prediabetes no, so if you have prediabetesYou can reverse and make disappear, but if you return to bad habits you will have the disease called prediabetes, you confuse to be prone to something with the disease itself.
For example, one can be prone to cancer and that propensity will always be there, but it will only be sick of cancer when it contracts the disease, and in fact it can get sick with cancer but if it heals it no longer has cancer.

Prediabetes is reversible, even some cases of DT2 too.
It can not only be controlled, but make it disappear and have a normal pancreas etc.

That is totally uncertain, it is a mockery and it is typical of shamans and selling what you are saying, but I understand that you cling to it before recognizing that you have a disease

I'm going to explain it easy.
When a pancreas works well, you can do that glucose stabilizes.If, for example, I give myself a dirt of sweets at night I would lift me hundreds of glucose, but if a non -diabetic friend does, he gets up well at 80/90, because his pancreas has done his job.
At the time that high values ​​are started, it is because the pancreas cannot do its job well, it is already "touched" but it is still working.If a very correct diet is followed, the values ​​can be normal again.
That is why it is said to "reverse" with diet.
But the reality is that this pancreas is no longer perfect, it does not control the excesses.
Therefore, in that case, the results can be controlled based on good nutrition, already forever, of course, but I do not believe that the pancreas can be recovered, in any case not to get worse.
That is what I think they call prediabetes, a "touched" but still functional pancreas if it is not forced (not like mine that is made disgust 😂😂😂)

I only have one doubt in cases of insulin resistance due to obesity.There the pancreas works but abdominal fat prevents that insulin from taking effect.Perhaps in that case if weight is lost in time, it can be reversed if the pancreas is not yet damaged from working so much.There are cases.

Actually as long as I have my sugar level, I don't care too much what I have, because the important thing is to be healthy and not damage the organs.
I still think that prediabetes is reversible and this is what the Disease Prevention and Detection Center says on the Government's page (not shamans or selling) as I showed in the link, use the reversible word

You have said in your post that the DT2 can disappear and that is why I say that this is typical of shamans and sale and that that is totally a lie !!

That some cases of minor diabetes, such as prediabetes, but is more complicated, greetings

I agree.
Prediabetic is debuted and there is no turning back.

Hello!I am very happy!
How I told you in first test a month ago Di 154 on an empty stomach, after ten days with diet and exercise as I told me a medical one I did second test, and I said on 114, ten days later I had dropped with respect to the first test from 94 kilos to 88, I measure1.84, and I made another one on an empty stomach and Di 108, the glycosilada gave me 7.2.
Recently I have done two tests in Pharmacy, one on an empty stomach and another after two hours of lunch, say on fasting 86!, I have lowered at 85 kilos, and at lunch I did my first test after eating two hours after lunch, ate peasted dish with ham, onion, garlic, virgin olive oil, carrot and an egg, of dessert orange tangerine andA natural Greek yogurt without sugar, a bit of whole wheat bread and a small red wine glass, two hours later I tested and said 103!.
My conclusion is that I had no prediabetes as I believed, less diabetes, but would not answer my pancreas!I simply had some overweight that caused insulin resistance but the pancreas responds well, except to have diabetes, my doctor was right in not giving diabetes diagnosis and not prescribing pills, but diet and exercise, this demonstrates should not prescribe pills if you don't give twiceOn an empty stomach, but diet and exercise and more tests, regardless of glycosiladI will get glycosylated within three months to confirm as my doctor said.
I think doctors recipe pills in these cases as mine are wrong, my pancreas responded well, and perhaps the first test came that because I had dinner at that time towards, with white bread and industrial juice, but I have managed to catch it in time and eliminateThe risk that my pancreas would work badly over time, if my pancreas was wrong, it would not have had these results, it was also indicative that since the beginning I had perfect triglycerides and cholesterol, what I had is a problem of resistance to diabetes perhaps but not because of mypancreas that is fine but for some overweight, and the sugar was a little high because of the food it had.
This is my conclusion, if I now give 85 on an empty stomach and after lunch two hours later I give 103 my pancreas is fine and I am neither diabetic nor prediabetic.
If you pay attention to mine and do not give twice above 128 on an emptyance, try it with diet and exercise and lower weight, if it does not work then perhaps pills because it would be somewhat evil.
Inside three months I will do the glycosilada to confirm as a doctor said, but I am sure it will even be below 5

Congratulations, @joaquillo, to relax and enjoy.
