The over-45 reality

Prediabetes is silent — and your 40s and 50s are the decisive decade

Prediabetes usually has no symptoms. Blood sugar creeps up for years before anyone notices — and the risk rises sharply with age. The encouraging news: caught early, it is one of the most reversible conditions in modern medicine.

  • In Australia, around 2 million people have prediabetes, and up to 500,000 more live with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.
  • In New Zealand, more than one in four adults has prediabetes.
  • In the United States, more than 2 in 5 adults have prediabetes — and 8 in 10 don't know it.
  • The good news: healthy eating, moving more and losing weight can cut your risk of type 2 diabetes in half.
