November is National Diabetes Month

November is National Diabetes Month, and this year we’re focusing on a serious health condition that is a precursor to Type 2 diabetes: prediabetes.

Risk factors for prediabetes include:

• Being overweight

• Being 45 years or older

• Having an immediate family member with Type 2 diabetes

• Engaging in physical activity less than three times a week

• Having a history of gestational diabetes or giving birth to a baby over nine pounds

• Having polycystic ovary syndrome
