What is Prediabetes: Key Symptoms, A1c Levels, and Essential Lab Values

  • Summary

  • Today, we're excited to kick off our new series on prediabetes, a condition that affects approximately 96 million U.S. adults. In this comprehensive episode of the Diabetes Digital Podcast, hosts Jessica Jones and Wendy Lopez delve into everything you need to know about prediabetes. We start by explaining the difference between a prediabetes and diabetes diagnosis, highlighting that many people with prediabetes may not experience any symptoms. Common signs include thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, while women may also notice specific symptoms like PCOS, irregular menstrual cycles, and unexplained weight gain. We then break down A1c levels, what they mean, and cover other essential lab values such as Fasting Blood Glucose, Lipid Profile, and Blood Pressure. Finally, we provide practical advice on managing and potentially reversing prediabetes through self-care and diet. Tune in for valuable insights and check out our prediabetes conditions page and quiz for more information.
