Patient-Friendly Explanation

Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be called diabetes. It is an early warning that type 2 diabetes may develop, but it can often be reversed with weight loss and lifestyle changes.

Clinical Definition

Prediabetes is defined by impaired fasting glucose (5.6-6.9 mmol/L), impaired glucose tolerance, or an HbA1c of 5.7-6.4%. It reflects progressive insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction and substantially increases the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes.

Why It Matters

Weight loss is the single most effective way to reverse prediabetes and prevent diabetes. NuLifeCare Singapore offers structured medical weight management to help lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk.
