00:00Did you know that 1 in 3 adults in the US has pre-diabetes, but 80% of them don't even know it?

00:19Pre-diabetes is a silent condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart disease,

00:26and other serious health problems if left unchecked.

00:30But here's the good news, it's reversible.

00:34In this video, I'll explain what pre-diabetes is, share 13 ways to know if you're at risk,

00:41and reveal proven strategies to cure it.

00:45Whether you're concerned about your health or just curious, this video is for you.

00:51Let's get started.

01:00Pre-diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not

01:05high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes.

01:09According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , pre-diabetes occurs when

01:16your body becomes insulin resistant, meaning it can't use insulin effectively to regulate

01:23blood sugar.

01:25This condition affects over net 6 million adults in the US alone.

01:30If left untreated, pre-diabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk

01:36of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.

01:40The good news, pre-diabetes is reversible with lifestyle changes.

01:46By catching it early and taking action, you can prevent it from turning into a lifelong disease.

01:52Let's dive into the 13 ways to know if you're at risk.

01:59The most obvious sign of pre-diabetes is elevated blood sugar levels.

02:08A fasting blood sugar level between 100 to 1 to 5 MGDL indicates pre-diabetes, while levels

02:16above 1 to 6 MGDL suggest diabetes.

02:20According to the American Diabetes Association , an A1c test which may use your average blood

02:28sugar over the past 2 to 3 months can also diagnose pre-diabetes.

02:35An A1c level of 5.7% to 6.4% is considered pre-diabetic.

02:42Regular blood tests are crucial, especially if you have risk factors like obesity, a sedentary

02:49lifestyle, or a family history of diabetes.

02:53Early detection through these tests can help you take action before it's too late.

02:58Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen, is a common sign of pre-diabetes.

03:14Insulin resistance can cause your body to store fat more easily, particularly in the belly

03:20area.

03:22According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism,

03:29visceral fat, which is fat around the organs, is strongly linked to insulin resistance.

03:37If you've noticed your waistline expanding, despite no significant changes in diet or exercise,

03:44it could be a red flag for pre-diabetes.

03:47Monitoring your weight and waist circumference can help you catch this early.

04:00Do you often feel tired, even after full night's sleep?

04:04Fatigue is a common symptom of pre-diabetes.

04:08When your body can't effectively use insulin, glucose builds up in your bloodstream instead

04:14of being converted into energy.

04:18This leaves you feeling sluggish and drained.

04:21According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, fatigue is

04:28one of the earliest signs of insulin resistance.

04:32If you're constantly tired, it's worth getting your blood sugar levels checked.

04:44Frequent thirst and urination are classic signs of high blood sugar levels.

04:49When your blood sugar is elevated, your kidneys work overtime to filter and absorb the excess glucose.

04:58If they can't keep up, the glucose is excreted in your urine, pulling fluids from your tissues

05:03and making you dehydrated.

05:05This leads to increased thirst and more trips to the bathroom.

05:11According to the Mayo Clinic, these symptoms are often overlooked but are key indicators of

05:17pre-diabetes.

05:19Fluid vision can be a surprising symptom of pre-diabetes.

05:31High blood sugar levels can cause the lens of your eye to swell, affecting your ability

05:36to focus.

05:38According to the American Optometric Association, this symptom is often temporary but can become

05:46permanent if blood sugar levels remain uncontrolled.

05:50If you're experiencing sudden changes in vision, it's important to get your blood sugar checked.

06:03Slow healing cuts or sores are another sign of pre-diabetes.

06:08High blood sugar can damage blood vessels and reduce circulation, making it harder for

06:14your body to repair itself.

06:16According to a study in the Journal of Diabetes Research, poor wound healing is a common complication

06:23of insulin resistance.

06:26If you notice that cuts or bruises are taking longer to heal, it could be a warning sign.

06:40Dark, velvety patches of skin, often on the neck, armpits, are a condition called acanthosis

06:56necricans.

06:57This is caused by high insulin levels in the blood, which can stimulate skin cell growth.

07:04According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this is a common sign of insulin resistance

07:10and pre-diabetes.

07:12If you notice these patches, it's time to see a doctor.

07:25Feeling hungry all the time, even after eating, can be a sign of pre-diabetes.

07:32When your cells can't absorb glucose properly, your body thinks it's starving and signals

07:38for more food.

07:39According to the Harvard TH Jan School of Public Health, this constant hunger is a key symptom

07:47of insulin resistance.

07:50If you're always reaching for snacks, it's worth investigating.

08:02If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, your risk of pre-diabetes is significantly higher.

08:10According to the National Institutes of Health, NIH, genetics play a major role in insulin resistance.

08:18If a parent or sibling has diabetes, it's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly

08:26and adopt preventive measures.

08:29Ac dentistry lifestyle is a major risk factor for pre-diabetes.

08:40Lack of physical activity reduces your body's ability to use insulin effectively.

08:47According to the World Health Organization , regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity

08:55and lower blood sugar levels.

08:57If you spend most of your day sitting, it's time to get moving.

09:10Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar and unhealthy fats can increase your risk of

09:16pre-diabetes.

09:17According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, a diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables

09:26can improve insulin sensitivity.

09:29Making small changes to your diet can have a big impact on your health.

09:41High blood pressure is often linked to pre-diabetes.

09:45According to the American Heart Association, insulin resistance can lead to hypertension, increasing

09:52your risk of heart disease.

09:54Monitoring your blood pressure and managing it through lifestyle changes is crucial.

10:08Sleep problems like insomnia or sleep apnea are common in people with pre-diabetes.

10:14According to the sleep foundation, poor sleep can worsen insulin resistance.

10:20Improving your sleep habits can help lower your risk.

10:24Pre-diabetes is a wake-up call, but it's also an opportunity to take control of your health.

10:38If you identified with any of these signs, don't wait.

10:43Get your blood sugar checked and start making changes today.

10:47Small steps like eating healthier, exercising and managing stress can reverse pre-diabetes

10:53and prevent type 2 diabetes.
