Summaries

Summary Sentence: Join this webinar to learn more about prediabetes and how to prevent its progression.

Full Summary: People with higher than normal blood glucose levels, but not yet in the diabetic range, have what's called "prediabetes." Insulin resistance and prediabetes usually have no symptoms. You may have one or both conditions for several years without noticing. If you have prediabetes, you have a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. In addition, people with prediabetes have a higher risk of heart disease. If you have prediabetes, progression to diabetes isn’t inevitable! Join this webinar to learn more about this common condition and how to prevent its progression.
