Pre-Diabetes
A new diagnosis of 'prediabetes' or 'non diabetic hyperglycaemia', often called in medical terms, can be very scary and confusing for individuals. During the pre-diabetic stage your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be officially “type 2 diabetes”. In the UK, typically an HbA1C test is used and if results show 42-47mmol/mol, this is considered prediabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes
The main cause of development of type 2 diabetes is a) inability of the pancreas to produce enough of insulin -the hormone that your body needs to convert glucose into energy- and b) presence of insulin resistance -meaning that your body's cells do not respond and utilise properly the insulin that your body makes or the insulin you inject as a medication. Other contributory factor includes the body's impaired ability to oxidise fat which can lead to fat building up in places it shouldn’t, such as the pancreas.

Gestational Diabetes
Women experience a lot of changes during pregnancy. Along with the physical signs, the hormones you produce can make it hard for your body to use insulin properly. This puts you at an increased risk of insulin resistance, which means your body’s cells do not respond properly to the insulin that your body makes, and some women cannot produce enough insulin to overcome it. This makes it difficult to use glucose (sugar) properly for energy, so it stays in your blood and blood sugar levels rise. This then leads to gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects women who have not been diagnosed with diabetes before. To best manage your condition, you need to take extra care of yourself and your baby. This will include eating well and keeping active.

diabetes remission
Many individuals with pre-diabetes, will develop type 2 Diabetes at a later stage in life.
We know that people can achieve normalisation of blood sugar levels, and can discontinue their sugar-lowering medications. For many people this can last for years. Statistics show that in a period of a year nearly of individuals can revert to normal blood glucose levels (diabetes remission), one third will develop type 2 diabetes and the rest will remain in the pre-diabetes stage.
