Does prediabetes always turn into diabetes?

No, prediabetes does not always turn into diabetes. Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. However, it is a warning sign and indicates an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Key points to prevent progression:

• Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight can significantly reduce the risk.
• Regular Monitoring: Regular blood sugar tests and check-ups can help track your progress.
• Medical Guidance: Follow your doctor’s advice, which may include medications if necessary.

With proper management, many people with prediabetes can avoid developing type 2 diabetes.
