Prediabetes is often discovered unexpectedly.
A routine health check shows blood glucose above the normal range, yet the person feels perfectly healthy. This can naturally raise a question: if there are no symptoms, is follow-up really necessary?
Prediabetes May Not Cause Obvious Symptoms
Prediabetes generally refers to blood glucose levels above the normal range but below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes.
Individual assessment may also consider family history, body weight, physical activity, eating patterns and associated health conditions.
Depending on clinical findings, lifestyle measures, repeat testing, monitoring or other recommendations may be discussed.
At Dr. Apurva Gawai's Diabetes and Obesity Clinic, Kharghar, prediabetes-related consultations are guided by individual risk factors, clinical findings and appropriate investigations.
Rather than relying on the presence or absence of symptoms, follow-up decisions can be based on individual health findings and professional medical guidance.
