Sugar Level

A simple blood test can reveal whether your sugar levels put you at risk for diabetes. People with pre-diabetes may develop a full-blown case within 10 years.

Knowing your blood sugar levels are a little high can put you on a track to steadying them with a simple diet and exercise changes.

Everyone over 45 years should be tested. Also, younger people who have risk factors such as being overweight, a family history of it and high cholesterol should be tested.
