Prediabetes is a condition that’s often misunderstood, leading to dangerous myths and misconceptions. Unfortunately, believing these myths can prevent people from taking the steps needed to protect their health. So, let’s set the record straight.

If you’re wondering whether prediabetes is something you need to worry about, keep reading. We’re here to debunk the most common myths and give you the facts so you can make informed decisions about your health.

Prediabetes

Myth #1: Prediabetes Isn’t Serious

Fact: Many people believe that prediabetes is just a “mild” condition that doesn’t require much attention. The truth is, this is a serious warning sign that your body is struggling to manage blood sugar levels. If left untreated, it can lead to type 2 diabetes, which comes with a host of other health problems, including heart disease, kidney damage, and vision loss. Taking action now can prevent these outcomes.

Myth #2: Prediabetes Only Affects Older People

Fact: While it’s true that your risk for prediabetes increases as you age, younger adults, and even children, can develop prediabetes. Factors such as being overweight, having a sedentary lifestyle, and poor eating habits can increase your risk at any age.

Myth #3: If I Feel Fine, I Don’t Need to Worry About Prediabetes

Fact: Prediabetes often doesn’t come with obvious symptoms, so many people feel perfectly fine even though their blood sugar levels are higher than normal. This makes regular screening and awareness of risk factors incredibly important. Don’t wait until symptoms appear – by then, it could be too late to prevent diabetes.

Myth #4: Once You Have Prediabetes There’s Nothing You Can Do

Fact: This is perhaps the most dangerous myth of all. The reality is that prediabetes is reversible! With lifestyle changes, including healthier eating, regular physical activity, and weight loss, you can bring your blood sugar levels back to a healthy range. The National Diabetes Prevention Program is designed to help you do just that.
