• Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, a chronic condition resulting in high blood glucose, as a result of progressive loss of adequate insulin secretion frequently on the background of insulin resistance. Usually arising in middle- and older-aged adults, high blood sugar can cause other serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
• Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. There are preventive measures that can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes.
