00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:12Pre-diabetes symptoms, risk factors, and prevention tips.
00:15Borderline diabetes, or pre-diabetes, is when your blood sugar is higher than normal but not
00:20quite high enough to be diabetes. Your body still produces insulin,
00:23but it's not as effective, so your blood sugar stays elevated, a condition called insulin
00:27resistance. If you have pre-diabetes, you're not alone, about 1 in 3 adults in the US have it.
00:33The good news is, it doesn't mean you'll definitely get diabetes.
00:37However, without lifestyle changes, 15-30% of people with pre-diabetes may develop diabetes
00:42within 3-5 years. Pre-diabetes usually doesn't cause symptoms, and only 20% of people know they
00:48have it. 1. Risk factors.
00:50You're more likely to develop pre-diabetes if you're overweight, inactive, over 45,
00:55or have high blood pressure, cholesterol, a family history of diabetes, or a history of
01:00heart disease, stroke, gestational diabetes, or polycystic ovary syndrome.
01:042. Getting tested.
01:06Since pre-diabetes is silent, regular check-ups are key.
01:09Doctors often use an HbA1c test, which shows your average blood sugar over the past 3 months.
01:14An HbA1c level between 5.7 and 6.4 suggests pre-diabetes.
01:203. Potential complications.
01:22Unchecked, high blood sugar can harm your vision, nerves, kidneys, and heart,
01:26leading to serious health problems.
01:294. How to lower your risk.
01:30A study showed that modest weight loss and exercise reduce the risk of diabetes by 58%.
01:36Here's how.
01:36A. Eat a balanced diet, focus on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, veggies, and healthy fats.
01:43Cut down on added sugars, like in baked goods and sugary drinks.
01:47B. Stay active, aim for 150 minutes of exercise per week, like walking, swimming, or dancing.
01:54C. Manage weight, if needed, work with a doctor or dietitian to achieve a healthy weight.
01:59D. Consider medications.
02:01If you have pre-diabetes, your doctor might recommend medication like
02:04metformin to improve insulin sensitivity.
02:06Talk with your doctor before starting any lifestyle changes.
02:10With the right adjustments, you can lower your chances of developing
02:12diabetes and improve your overall health.
