According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 96 million American adults—that's 1 in 3—are prediabetic. Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Without lifestyle changes, many people with prediabetes may develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.
