Prediabetes is a "pain in the ass." To be clear, prediabetes is a medical condition with its own classification, not just a symptom. Thus, any query about existing medical conditions will require a formal disclosure.
Living with prediabetes is, of course, no different than pre-prediabetes times (i.e., no medication). In fact, no change is really necessary until it's just too late. Taking prediabetes seriously, however, is all about anxiety.
People with prediabetes live from blood test to blood test. The interval of several months is one of pure uncertainty. Life-style and dietary revisions are unnerving and add to the uncertainty. Varying new symptoms may appear or disappear. All the while, there is no way to determine if any symptom is related to prediabetes or diabetes.
Actually, nearly any symptom or ailment can be attributed to prediabetes or diabetes. It's all about blood sugar or glucose. Too high, and the body goes berserk. Then, there's the matter of age. Senior citizens are more likely to develop full-blown diabetes as the body's normal functions begin to degenerate.
To summarize, prediabetes is a "pain in the ass" and a living hell. Anyone diagnosed with prediabetes should do everything possible to reduce blood sugar because diabetes is real hell with no way out.
