    Prediabetes usually has no symptoms it’s just considered borderline diabetes and can be reversed with diet.

    Yes, unequivocally yes, it does.   However,  the detrimental state of the average American's health masks these symptoms as just what occurs as you age.

    In fact, the vast majority of Americans currently ARE pre-diabetic...and don't have a clue.

    Look up metabolic syndrome and Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D.   

    You are going to be mad...but since it's reversible,  happy you are alive and given a way out.

    You are welcome.   I am just paying it forward.

    I have been pre diabetic for 5 years. No symptoms of any kind.

    Prediabetes does not have any symptoms. The diagnostic criteria of both diabetes and prediabetes is based on laboratory tests and not on symptoms.

    Diabetes can have symptoms based on the fact that the blood sugars are high making people thirsty and pee more often. They can also get more hungry.

    With prediabetes the blood sugar levels are not high enough to give symptoms.
