Prediabetes is when someone’s blood glucose (sugar) level is too high but not high enough yet for a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can become Type 2 diabetes if it is not treated. 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and more than 84% of people with prediabetes don’t know they have it. So, take the risk test now to see where you stand.
National Diabetes Prevention Program
The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) was created in 2010 to address the increasing burden of prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes in the United States. This national effort created partnerships between public and private organizations to offer evidence-based, cost-effective interventions that help prevent Type 2 diabetes in communities across the United States.
One key feature of the National DPP is the CDC-recognized lifestyle change program, a research-based program focusing on healthy eating and physical activity that showed people with prediabetes who take part in a structured lifestyle change program can cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% for people over 60 years old).
