No, pre Diabetes only means that you have blood glucose levels that are just above normal, but it is not dangerous and not in the category of being in diabetes.
Prediabetes, as the name suggests, is the early stage of diabetes. It is the beginning of diabetes. You are still not a diabetic. You are one of those who can get diabetes if proper care is not given to the health and lifestyle.
In fact, if you have prediabetes, you can take the right steps to control the progression of prediabetes into type 2 diabetes. The steps are a change in diet and exercise. With these two steps, you can easily cure prediabetes and also reverse diabetes.
I would say that you are a lucky person if you come to know that you have prediabetes. The simple fact is many people do not know that they are suffering from diabetes. It remains in the body for years. The person comes to know only when the severe damage has occurred.
Consider yourself lucky, if you have prediabetes and you are aware of its status.
Pre diabetes makes it easy to control the diabetes without medication. Change in diet, eating wholegrains, increasing consumption of vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, nuts and avoiding sugary drinks is enough. You also need to perform at least one simple physical activity. Walking, at least 30 minutes of walk a day is enough to lower the blood glucose levels.
Take care of your diet, change your lifestyle, keep weight in check, and reverse diabetes.
But you must know that you are pre diabetes. Regular blood sugar checking will reveal you your health status. Make it a point to go for blood glucose checking if you feel that your lifestyle is not healthy.
