Summary

Prediabetes is the term used for people whose glucose levels do not meet the criteria for diabetes but are too high to be considered normal. This is defined by the presence of blood glucose between 100-125 mg / dL, values per glucose tolerance curve of 140-199mg / dL and/or HbA1c 5.7-6.4%. Prediabetes should not be considered as a clinical entity in itself, but as a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Prediabetes is associated with obesity (especially abdominal or visceral obesity), dyslipidemia with elevated triglycerides and/or low HDL cholesterol, and hypertension.
