Are You at Risk for Prediabetes?

You may be at higher risk for prediabetes if you have:
- A family history of diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Weight changes or difficulty losing weight
- Low energy or frequent fatigue
- Increased thirst or frequent urination
- Blurry vision
- A history of gestational diabetes
- A sedentary lifestyle
- A past blood sugar or A1C result that was higher than normal
If you’re worried about your risk or haven’t had your blood sugar checked recently, don’t wait to book an appointment.

What Patients Ask About Diabetes & Prediabetes Care
What is the difference between diabetes and prediabetes?
Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
Diabetes means your blood sugar has reached a higher range and needs ongoing care to help prevent long-term health problems.
Can prediabetes be reversed?
Yes, many people are able to improve or reverse prediabetes with changes to nutrition, exercise, weight, sleep, and other daily habits.
Our providers can help you build a realistic plan to lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk of developing diabetes.
What A1C level is considered diabetes?
An A1C of 6.5% or higher is generally considered diabetes, while 5.7% to 6.4% is considered prediabetes.
Your provider will review your A1C alongside your health history, symptoms, risk factors, and any other lab results.
How often should my A1C be checked?
This depends on your diagnosis, past results, medication plan, and overall health.
Our providers can recommend a testing schedule to help you monitor your progress and adjust your care when needed.
Will I need insulin to manage diabetes?
Not everyone with diabetes needs insulin. Depending on your blood sugar levels, A1C, medical history, and response to treatment, your provider may recommend lifestyle changes, oral medication, injectable medication, insulin, or a combination of options.
