Pre-Diabetes
Pre diabetes is a diagnosis given when someone has a raised blood sugar and is at risk in the future of developing Diabetes. In the last 10 years the number of patients with this condition has increased by almost 100% and if, as a nation, we do not take steps to try and reverse this trend, not only will individuals become unwell, they are at risk of going into hospital, living with ill health and even dying younger.
But this can be reversed if it is diagnosed and people are willing to change their lifestyle.
Diabetes UK report that up to 50% of people can reverse pre- diabetes if they can reduced the sugar in their diet, lose weight and increase activity.
If you have been diagnosed with this condition I urge you to take up the offer of education to try and manage this and make positive changes to your health that will enable to you to not just live longer but in good health and with enjoyment.
