To determine if you have prediabetes, you should consult a healthcare professional who may recommend the following tests:

• A1C Test: Measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. Prediabetes is indicated by an A1C level between 5.7% and 6.4%.
• Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Test: Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast. Prediabetes is indicated by a level between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures blood sugar before and after drinking a sugary drink. Prediabetes is indicated by a level between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL after 2 hours.

If you have risk factors such as being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or being over 45, it's especially important to get tested. Early detection and lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
