Prediabetes Raises Risk for Heart Attack, Stroke

is higher than normal—is a serious wake-up call. Without intervention,
prediabetes often leads to type 2 diabetes and puts you at increased risk
for heart disease and stroke. But this diagnosis doesn’t mean that
you will definitely develop diabetes. There’s still time to turn
things around.
Hear family medicine physician Dr. Mikki Hand describe how prediabetes
is diagnosed and practical steps you can take to prevent or delay type
2 diabetes.
