how do i know i am pre diabetic

To determine if you are prediabetic, you should look for the following signs and consider getting tested:

• A1C Test: This blood test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. A result between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes.
• Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Test: This test measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast. A result between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL suggests prediabetes.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): This test measures your blood sugar before and after drinking a sugary drink. A result between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL indicates prediabetes.

If you have risk factors such as being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or being physically inactive, it's important to get tested regularly. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and testing.
