Episode Synopsis

Prediabetes is often called 'borderline diabetes' and occurs when a person's blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diabetes. Around 1 in 3 US adults have prediabetes; that means as many as 1.4 million adults in Minnesota have prediabetes and will potentially have type 2 diabetes. More startlingly is that only 1 in 10 is aware they have prediabetes.Before the disease progresses, you can take control and prevent or delay the development of diabetes. How? June Van Valkenburg sheds light on this increasingly prevalent disease.
