Prediabetes often has no clear symptoms, but there are key indicators and tests that can help determine if you are at risk:

  • A1C Test: Measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. A result between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes.
  • Fasting Blood Sugar Test: A fasting blood sugar level between 100 and 125 mg/dL suggests prediabetes.
  • Risk Factors: Being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or being physically inactive increases your risk.

If you suspect you might be prediabetic, consult your healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.
