About 70 percent of pre-diabetic patients later become diabetes patients.

People with pre-diabetes have a higher risk of obesity, due to which these people have a higher risk of chronic diseases. Please tell that even in pre-diabetes, if there is a continuous increase in blood sugar, then due to this there is a risk of nerve damage. According to a study, apart from our eyes, hands and feet can also be damaged due to neuropathy.
