Prediabetes is a component of the metabolic syndrome and is marked by higher blood sugar levels that fall below the limit to diagnose diabetes mellitus. It generally fails to   cause symptoms but people with Prediabets often have obesity (especially abdominal or visceral obesity), dyslipidaemia with high triglycerides and/or low HDL cholesterol, and hypertension. It is also connected with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Prediabets is more accurately examined an early stage of diabetes as health complications associated with type 2 diabetes frequently occur before the diagnosis of diabetes. There is a high rate of advancement to type2 diabetes but not everyone with Prediabetes develops type2 diabetes. Prediabets can be a convertible condition with lifestyle changes. Prediabets typically has no distinct signs except the sole sign of high blood sugar. Patients should monitor for signs   of type 2 diabetes mellitus such as increased thirst, increased urination, and feeling tired.
