prediabetes
Glucose levels elevated
Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.
It serves as a warning stage—without intervention, prediabetes often progresses to type 2 diabetes.
Her doctor said she had prediabetes and recommended dietary changes.
The condition is sometimes called borderline diabetes.
