November is American Diabetes Month. Testing your blood sugar would be a good thing to do this month. If you have never had your blood sugar tested, it is a good idea to get tested.
If your fasting blood sugar is greater than 100, you are already prediabetic.1You may be familiar with the term borderline diabetic. However, it is important to know what the blood sugar number means to know exactly where you stand. In fact, did you know that if your fasting blood sugar is greater than 125, you are already a diabetic? The fasting blood sugar test can be done in the morning prior to breakfast.
57 million Americans are at risk for type II diabetes.1 Type II diabetes accounts for 95% of all cases of diabetes. Type II diabetes can suddenly develop due to old age in people that did not have diabetes prior. This is another reason why it is important to know your blood sugar number.
