Concerned about prediabetes or diabetes? Contact your health care provider. That way, you can make changes today to prevent or reverse this disease. “A prediabetes diagnosis can be difficult to hear, but you can keep it from progressing to type 2 diabetes. The diagnosis puts you in control of making lifestyle and dietary changes that could reverse your path toward diabetes. Medication can also help control prediabetes.” —Heather Corn, M.D.
