Medically reviewed statistics about the current disease state of Diabetes.
Prediabetes is a condition in which you have elevated blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance, but are not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. It is often a precursor to diabetes although most people do not realize they have it.
When you have prediabetes, your cells have become insulin resistant which means they lose their insulin sensitivity and do not react to insulin properly which causes your blood glucose levels to rise.
