What is Prediabetes?
Prediabetes is a condition where you're blood sugar levels is above normal but cannot be clinically classified as diabetes. Prediabetes is there to warn us that if we do not make some changes, then we will likely end up diabetic within the next 3-5 years.

This is an astounding 1 out of 3 US adults is at risk of developing diabetes. Furthermore, data also shows that only 10% know they have the condition. The remaining 90% have no idea they have prediabetes, because the condition often times does not show signs or symptoms until it has gotten to the diabetes stage.

Prediabetes can be reversed through some daily lifestyle changes and consistency. What's even better, is that changing your lifestyle does not require you to train for a marathon nor subscribe to a radical diet that can do more harm.

For someone who is 180 lbs, this means they only have to lose 9-12 lbs over a one year period! So this number is very achievable without a drastic lifestyle change.
