Almost half (48.3 percent) of US adults ages 65 and older (23.1 million people) have prediabetes--blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Nine out of 10 (90 percent) of people with prediabetes do not even know they have the condition, and many do not realize that prediabetes is a serious health concern that increases risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
