An estimated 1 in 3 teens and preteens, ages 12 to 17, have prediabetes, according to new data from the CDC.
The CDC data means an estimated 8.4 million young people — or 32.7% of the U.S. adolescent population — had prediabetes in 2023, the most recent data available.
Prediabetes, which the CDC calls a "critical warning sign," increases a person's risk of developing Type 2 diabetes as well as other conditions like heart disease and stroke. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/NnzuMf
