KNOW WHEN TO SCREEN FOR PREDIABETES
Being in control of your health starts with a trip to your Doctor. There are certain risk factors that could increase your chances of having or developing prediabetes or type II diabetes.
All adults who are overweight or obese with a body mass index of 25 or greater;
or have at least 1 of the following risk factors
