This indicator shows the percentage of adults without diabetes who have had a test for high blood sugar or diabetes in the last 3 years.
Why is this important?
Prediabetes occurs when your blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Without intervention, prediabetes will likely develop into type 2 diabetes within 10 years. However, progression isn't inevitable. Healthy lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can bring your blood sugar level back to normal. Prediabetes has no clear symptoms, so it is important to check your blood sugar levels, especially if you present other risk factors for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
