Prediabetes is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels that do not meet the criteria for type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and is associated with the presence of obesity (especially abdominal or visceral obesity), dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure.[1]
