Prediabetes can boost a person s chance of major cardiovascular events People with prediabetes were significantly more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or other major cardiovascular event when compared with those who had normal blood sugar levels, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology s 70 th Annual Scientific Session. Researchers said the findings should serve as a wake-up call for clinicians and patients alike to try to prevent prediabetes in the first place. In general, we tend to treat prediabetes as no big deal. But we found that prediabetes itself can significantly boost someone s chance of having a major cardiovascular event, even if they never progress to having diabetes, said Adrian Michel, MD, internal medicine resident at Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak, MI, and lead author of the study, which he said is one of the largest to date. Instead of preventing diabetes, we need to shift focus and prevent prediabetes.
