Our read is that prediabetes is a significant health concern, affecting one-third of the U.S. population, with a large majority unaware of their condition. This condition carries its own set of clinical effects, underscoring the importance of preventative measures.
Key factors contributing to prediabetes risk include daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and chronic poor sleep.
New research identifying additional significant risk factors or effective preventative strategies would alter our verdict.
