Know the difference between

pre-diabetes and diabetes

Pre-diabetes means that your blood glucose (sugar)

levels are higher than normal but not high enough to

have diabetes. If you have pre-diabetes, you’re more

likely to get diabetes within 10 years and are also more

likely to have a heart attack or a stroke.

Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to heart

disease, stroke, blindness, kidney problems, nerve

damage and amputation.
