糖尿病前期(Prediabetes)是件大事, 測一測你的風險值

來自CDC的信息:  Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Amazing but true: 86 million American adults—more than 1 out of 3—have prediabetes. What's more, 90% of people with prediabetes don't know they have it. Could this be you? Read on to find out the facts and what you can do to stay healthy.

 

Prediabetes Is a Big Deal

Don't let the “pre” fool you—prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

 

風險因素有 (Risk factors for prediabetes, which include) :

• Being overweight
• Being 45 years or older
• Having a parent, brother, or sister with type 2 diabetes
• Being physically active less than 3 times a week
• Ever having gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) or giving birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds

 

Race and ethnicity are also a factor:

African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, Pacific Islanders, and some Asian Americans are at higher risk.
