A member asked:

Might a constantly high morning blood sugar cause a pre-diabetic to become a full diabetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Unless you can reduce your blood sugar, the natuaral course of prediabetes is to become full blown diabetes in a matter of few years.So you have to make efforts to reduce your high blood sugars by losing weight(which will require eating less and doing daily exercise).
