What Are Prediabetes Symptoms?

I just received a review of my annual blood work and it indicated my hemoglobin range at 15.6h and my hematocrit at 46.4 h an abnormal range for both. The pa indicated early stage of possible elevated glucose pre diabetes? In ready information on line nothing is mentioned regarding diabetes?What do this levels indicate.

Dear user,

I really understand your concern.

Prediabetes is a state of potential diabetes mellitus, with normal glucose tolerance but with an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, (e.g., family history, it has no signs or symptoms.

Another risk for type 2 diabetes is darkened skin on certain parts of the body (usually neck, armpits, elbows, knees and knuckles), that is called acanthosis nigricans.

Your blood test doesn't indicates for diabetes, fasting blood sugar is a test used for screening of diabetes.

Your test results aren't much higher, they may be due to dehydration, so drink 6-8 glasses daily and the test result may improves.


All the best!
