how to know if i am pre diabetic

To determine if you are prediabetic, you should consider the following steps:

• 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 Blood Sugar Test: A fasting blood sugar level between 100-125 mg/dL suggests prediabetes.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): A blood sugar level between 140-199 mg/dL after 2 hours indicates prediabetes.

If you have risk factors such as being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or being over 45 years old, it's important to get tested regularly. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
