how many people have prediabetes

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 96 million adults in the United States—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those, more than 80% are unaware they have the condition. Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Without lifestyle changes, many people with prediabetes may develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.
