Higher risk: The risk is much higher. In some studies, the risk of developing diabetes was 50% over 5 yr. Do you have a strong family history of diabetes? The most important thing for you to do is get healthy: exercise, healthy weight, minimize stress.

Likely so.: The term "Prediabetic" is used to define a group of individuals who are more likely to become diabetic compared to the general population. Prediabetics are identified by blood testing. It's not a guarantee that you'll become diabetic, but an increased likelihood, especially if you're not diligent with your diet and exercise.
