Worldwide, about 352 million adults have elevated blood sugar that's not high enough to warrant a diabetes diagnosis, the study team notes in the Journal of Internal Medicine. By 2045, that's projected to rise to 587 million, or 8.3 per cent of adults worldwide.

They must mostly live in the US NorthEast because EVERY senior I know in NY, CT, PA and WV has been diagnosed as pre-diabetic.

Prediabetes is still highly reversible, it only seems to persist because of reduced physical activity and insufficient concern with maintaining a diet relatively free of high-glycemic foods (white starch,white sugar), and including a higher-than-usual proportion of polyunsaturated fats (olive oil, for one) and balanced proteins.

Even modest weight loss and moderate exercise can reduce the HbA1c level down in the 5-6% level.

Eat mor chikin. On rye bread.

Thanks to the downgrading of blood sugar from 120 to 90s, half the country was converted to pre-diabetic.
