Borderline Diabetes Early Symptoms: Borderline diabetes, also known as prediabetes, is a medical condition that develops before a person develops type 2 diabetes. It is also known as Impaired Fasting Glucose or Glucose Intolerance. It means that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered a sign of diabetes.
What happens in the prediabetes phase?
During the prediabetes phase, your pancreas still produces enough insulin in response to ingested carbohydrates. However, insulin is less effective at removing sugar from the bloodstream, so your glucose levels remain high. This condition is called Insulin Resistance.
What is the difference between prediabetes and diabetes?
Having prediabetes does not mean that you will get diabetes. However, it is a warning of what may happen next. The risk of type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes is 5 to 15 times higher than in people with normal blood sugar levels. If you do not adopt healthy habits in your diet and lifestyle, then the possibility of getting diabetes increases.
It is difficult to recognize the early danger
A person with insulin resistance in the early stage can develop type 2 diabetes. If this continues for a long time. Only 10 percent of people with prediabetes are aware that they have the condition because many do not show any symptoms.
