Diabetes

Risk Factors and Prevention - Prevention

Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed in people who are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, a condition called pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes means blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. People with pre-diabetes are more likely to develop diabetes within 10 years and are also more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
