Most People With Prediabetes Don’t Know They Have It. I Don’t Want That To Be You.

Did you know that November is National Diabetes Month. I think when you hear stories or read about diabetes, most of that content starts with the scary part. I’d rather start with the hopeful part, because it’s the part I wish more of my patients knew. Most importantly, type 2 diabetes usually doesn’t show up overnight. It develops slowly, often over years, and that means there is a long stretch before it arrives when your blood sugar is creeping up but hasn’t crossed the line. That stretch is called prediabetes, and it is a real opportunity to change the direction of your health.
