It is very important to look out for some of these warning signs because without intervention, prediabetes will most likely become type 2 diabetes in 10 years or less. What is equally important to realize, however, is that this transition from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes is not inevitable. In fact, prediabetes should be an opportunity for you to improve your health and a chance for you to fight against diabetes.
