In the state of Minnesota, it is estimated that around 1.5 million people have pre-diabetes. However, a surprising number of these individuals are unaware that they have it. This means that there are many people at risk of developing diabetes without even realizing it.
The good news for those who are diagnosed with pre-diabetes is that they have the opportunity to take proactive steps to reduce the likelihood of it progressing to full-blown diabetes. By gaining knowledge about this condition and empowering individuals to take control of their health, we can work towards reducing the overall prevalence of diabetes in Minnesota.
To gain more insights into this issue, we spoke with Dr. Archelle Georgiou, a health expert from KSTP. Dr. Georgiou emphasized the importance of early detection and management of pre-diabetes in preventing the onset of diabetes. By raising awareness about this condition and encouraging individuals to take action, we can make a significant impact on reducing the overall prevalence of diabetes in our state.
