I was told last week that I have prediabetes. I am feeling really anxious and assume this means I am guaranteed to develop Type 2 diabetes eventually, no matter what I do. Is this true?
What is prediabetes, and does it mean I will definitely get diabetes?

Prediabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be classified as Type 2 diabetes. The good news is that it is absolutely not a guarantee of developing diabetes. Prediabetes is essentially a warning light on your body's dashboard. It is a critical window of opportunity where lifestyle changes—like losing 5% to 7% of body weight, increasing physical activity to 150 minutes a week, and modifying your diet—can completely reverse the condition and bring blood sugar levels back into the normal range.
