Holy cow - that's like 1/4 to 1/3 right? That seems insanely high!
- jandrese 7y agoPrediabetes is broadly defined, it catches a lot of people who aren't necessarily going to become diabetic.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoIt's doubly tragic because (T2) diabetes is preventable, and even reversible in some cases. And I've read that T1 is also much better controlled on a low carb/ketogenic diet.

- GordonS 7y agoT1 is rare compared to T2, but those figures are still shockingly high.
