Prediabetes
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Prediabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be considered diabetes. It is a warning sign that opens a valuable opportunity to act in time.
Contributing factors: being overweight, lack of physical activity, family history, and age often contribute.
When is it worth checking? It is a good idea to evaluate it if risk factors exist, since it often produces no symptoms and is detected in routine tests or general check-ups.
Which specialist treats it? The internist, the family physician, and the endocrinologist guide its follow-up, and the dietitian supports changes in eating habits. If you have risk factors, discussing your situation with one of these professionals helps you take timely care of your health and prevent complications.
