What is PREDIABETES, and what do you need to know about it?

1) A yeast infection is typically caused by an overgrowth of the naturally occurring fungus CANDIDA ALBICANS. This can occur due to excess levels of sugar in the bloodstream and urine. Chronic hyperglycemia creates an environment in which this fungus can easily grow and spread.

2) A Journal of Diabetes Research study found that prediabetic participants had heightened levels of inflammatory markers, like C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. This inflammation can present itself as pain and discomfort in elbows, knees, wrists, and other joints.

3) Prediabetic individuals are at an increased risk of XEROSIS - or dry skin - compared with those with normal glucose readings. Prediabetes-associated inflammation has also been found to disrupt the protective barrier of the skin, which may also result in skin dryness and an increased risk of skin infections.

4) Prediabetes is also linked to AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY – or damage to nerves of internal organs - which may cause GASTROPARESIS and a decrease in gastric motility - meaning the slowing of food through the digestive tract. This can result in feelings of bloating, cramping, constipation, nausea, and other stomach discomfort.

5) Chronic high blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the retina of the eye. Damage to this light-sensitive tissue can result in a swollen lens and then manifest as blurred vision, or even vision loss. Plus, oxidative stress caused by prediabetes may damage proteins in the lens of the eye, leading to the development of CATARACTS.
