Pre-diabetes is a form of diabetes that is at borderline. In this form of diabetes a person’s glucose level fluctuates between normal to diabetic level. The main problem is that most people suffering from this disease do not have any clue about it as this disease doesn’t show any symptoms. There are diabetic free bodies in human system that produces insulin that in turns break the food we take into energy. However, a person’s body suffering from diabetes or pre-diabetes has a problem in producing insulin and also using which is already available. So a very common symptom of a person suffering from pre-diabetes will be that even if he is eating proper food he will always feel tired as their body does not have enough insulin to break its food into energy.
Most doctors do not use the name pre-diabetes as they feel that a person having these symptoms indeed have diabetes. Neither do they have any medical proof to cover up this diagnosis. They generally don’t tell their patients that they are suffering from borderline diabetes as hearing this patient might not get serious about the treatment and go for preventions related to diabetes as well. Many doctors prefer to say this condition as insulin resistant or impaired glucose tolerance and other call it same to distinguish between diabetes and pre-diabetes.
The most unfortunate part is that most people suffering from borderline diabetes do not take precautions and this disease further turns into diabetes. The doctors believe and have proved that if a person suffering from borderline diabetes changes its lifestyle into a good, healthy lifestyle they can fight back and reverse the disease.
