Recording | Slides
Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 84 million American adults—more than 1 out of 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, 90% don’t know they have it. In this session participants discussed statistics of prediabetes and conversion rates from prediabetes to diabetes, identify patients at risk for diabetes, resources to screen and test for prediabetes and the use of EHRs to identify people with prediabetes.
