@ollie Hello, Prediabetes is a chronic condition with higher blood sugar levels than normal. It is related to how your body processes carbohydrates. People with prediabetes are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. A prediabetes diet can lower your blood sugar, reduce your risk for diabetes, or even reverse prediabetes. Carbohydrates are the main focus of a healthy prediabetes diet because they affect your blood sugar and your weight. Here are some healthy carbs that you can include in your diet like Whole Grains, Legumes, Fruit, dairy products, Berries that Are Lower in Sugar, and Whole Grains Thank You.

@igor Hello, sweet-smelling urine is a symptom. Urine may smell sweet if it contains extra glucose, which is a type of sugar. Diabetes is a common cause of this, but the smell of someone’s urine can also change for other reasons. Sweet-smelling urine is often the result of a person’s recent diet or diabetes but can also signal a dangerous and even life-threatening medical condition. Please consult your doctor.

@margaret Hello, yes it could be. Acanthosis nigricans doesn’t always mean you have diabetes or prediabetes, it can be a sign of diabetes. So talk to your healthcare provider if you notice signs of Acanthosis nigricans. Prediabetes means you have early signs but haven’t yet developed diabetes. You should get tested and talk to your healthcare provider. Thank you.
