📋Overview
Prediabetes is a clinical condition characterized by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to meet criteria for type 2 diabetes. It is considered an intermediate metabolic state indicating increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The term 'prediabetes' is preferred over older or less specific terms such as impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance, which describe specific laboratory abnormalities within the prediabetes spectrum.
