Prediabetes is a health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetes. If overlooked, this condition can progress to diabetes, a chronic disease that could cause serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. Fortunately, there are many modifiable risk factors that can help prevent the progression of prediabetes. In this session, we will discuss the physiology involved in blood sugar regulation, how pre-diabetes occurs and how it could progress to Type 2 Diabetes, review recommendations for the prevention of Type II Diabetes, as well as discuss how poor glycemic control can impact weight management. This special topic will be run by our internist, Dr. Jeff Kerrie.
