No Ethnic Disparity in Prediabetes
- Unlike diabetes rates, prediabetes prevalence is similar across racial and ethnic groups in the US.
- Universal screening is important to avoid underserved populations or over screening based on race assumptions.
Prediabetes Is a Serious Condition
- Prediabetes is a state of dysglycemia that increases risks of complications typically linked to diabetes.
- It is not a benign condition and can lead to serious health issues like eye, kidney, and cardiovascular disease.
Broaden Prediabetes Screening
- Screen adults aged 35 years or older for prediabetes regardless of risk factors.
- Broader screening captures more cases than targeting only those with overweight or obesity.
