Best Answer

Pre-Diabetes is when your blood sugar is high out of the normal range, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 1 diabetes yet. It's also known as Impaired fasting glucose.

There may be signs of insulin resistance which could lead towards developing diabetes. However with proper diet and exercise one may be able to reverse it at this stage.

Which groups of people are high at becoming diabetic why is this?

If this answer doesn't shock, well, it should. To everyone in the health field it may not be as much of a shock, but it is frightening if you know even a little about diabetes and it is that the youth in our country, the US, is having an increasingly serious percentage of type 2 diabetes. The reason is 99.9999% preventable and has to do with lifestyle. The high sugar diet and lack of physical activity is a large part of it. The other fatal blow, if you'll pardon the expression, is the alarming high incidence of obesity. That's like a knockout punch, one, two, three. This has serious consequence for their future health and out health system's ability to deal with it. If I said that the rate has been reported to be 30% of school-age children are either diabetic or are prediabetic. Believe it or not!


How much sugar should a prediabetic have?

Few to NONE.You can help to prevent diabetes and heart attacks by AVOIDING sugar, wheat, cereals, and other refined/processed carbohydrates, and exercising, will help you to avoid moving into diabetes.A LIFE STYLE change is called for - Sugar and all other refined/processed carbohydrates are the ENEMY. Lose weight. A Body mass Index of 25 or lower will put you in great shape.Exercise - As little as 30 minutes cardio walking every day. Bad weather outdoors? - Walk up and down a staircase for an exercise routine, and do it up to 30 minutes every day. Better still, if you can afford to, buy a good treadmill.
