Pre-diabetes is a controversial diagnosis, with some arguing that it is overdiagnosed. However, early detection is important for reversing pre-diabetes symptoms.
In this Daily Dose, Dr. Mitch weighs in on the recent controversy over diagnosing pre-diabetes. A pre-diabetes diagnosis can cause stress and unnecessary medical tests for patients, some argue. However, others argue that pre-diabetes is an important health stage that should be addressed and treated early.
Dr. Mitch’s opinion:
Early detection is key. This allows patients to start on lifestyle
modifications, such as a pre-diabetes diet and exercise plan. Another tip: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, especially the hemoglobin A1C, is also important.
