	Prediabetes is a medical condition characterized by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as [[type 2 diabetes]]. It is considered an intermediate stage in the development of diabetes and is a significant risk factor for the progression to type 2 diabetes, as well as for cardiovascular diseases.		Prediabetes is a medical condition characterized by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as [[type 2 diabetes]]. It is considered an intermediate stage in the development of diabetes and is a significant risk factor for the progression to type 2 diabetes, as well as for cardiovascular diseases.

	=== Pathophysiology ===		=== Pathophysiology ===
	Prediabetes occurs when the body begins to have trouble using the hormone [[insulin]] effectively, a condition known as [[insulin resistance]]. Insulin is produced by the [[pancreas]] and is essential for the regulation of blood glucose levels. In prediabetes, the pancreas may initially produce more insulin to overcome insulin resistance, but over time, it may not be able to keep up, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.

== Overview ==
Prediabetes typically does not cause noticeable symptoms, making it a silent condition that often goes undiagnosed. Individuals with prediabetes are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. Early detection and management are crucial for preventing these and other health complications.
