A Premature End

People with pre-diabetes are nearly as likely to die early from cardiovascular disease as those with Type2 diabetes,according to a study. Sometimes called insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance,pre diabetes is identified by elevated blood sugar that remains below the levels seen in full fledged diabetes. Also people with diabetes or pre diabetes were more than twice as likely to die from cardiovascular disease as those with normal blood sugar levels,after controlling for other risk factors such as blood pressure,cholestrol etc. Mostly people should check for diabetes if their age is 30. And the important thing is that,if you have pre diabetes,you need to reduce your weight and continue doing exercise regularly.
