Prediabetes

Symptoms

Prediabetes is most often a silent condition with no symptoms.

However, certain risk factors, such as obesity or lack of exercise, may put you at a higher risk of developing prediabetes. If you have any of the risk factors for prediabetes—which are similar to the risk factors for type 2 diabetes—ask your health professional whether you should be tested.
