Family and medical history for prediabetes
If your health professional suspects that you have prediabetes, he or she may ask the following questions about your family and medical history:
- Does your family have a history of type 2 diabetes or heart disease?
- Have you ever had gestational diabetes or delivered a baby that weighed more than 9 lb (4 kg)?
- What medications are you taking?
- Have you been diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, or both?
- Have you experienced irregular menstrual cycles or been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome?
