Learn what this course covers, what prediabetes means, and how the seven chapters connect.
You can describe what this course covers and how its chapters connect.
This course is for adults with prediabetes and the people who support them. Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than typical. It is not yet in the diabetes range.
Think of it as a stage between normal and diabetes. It has its own blood sugar range, so it is not the same as diabetes.
Each chapter covers one area of daily life that can affect blood sugar over time. Food, activity, weight, sleep and stress are some of those areas.
Some chapters cover daily habits, and others cover the tests that track your progress. Lessons build on each other. Reading them in order makes the plan clearer.
