Pre-Diabetes Assessment

Service Description

What is Prediabetes? Pre-Diabetes often manifests with no signs or symptoms but can be a pre-curser for the onset of chronic disease such as Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease. It is a condition that identifies as elevated blood glucose levels, often higher than normal, but not high enough to warrant a diagnosis of Diabetes from your GP. Risk factors include family history of Diabetes, being overweight/obese, inactive lifestyle, high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol. By reducing your weight by 5 – 10% you could lower your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes by 60%. Putting it simply, a person weighing 80kg will need to lose only 3 – 6kg to see a noticeable difference to blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin response. Following a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, healthy food choices and managing your weight, will allow you to successfully reduce your incidence of developing Diabetes and other diet-related conditions such as Heart Disease, Stroke and Cancer.
