 
So you may have heard that Tom Hanks has announced that he had diabetes.
Like many of us, he was honest enough to say that he is not the same weight that he was when
he was 20. His doctor has been watching his blood sugar for many
years, but recently contacted Tom Hanks
and told him that he has now flipped over from prediabetes to diabetes.
So what is prediabetes and what is diabetes?
Prediabetes is a high fasting or high random sugar
but not reached so high that it reaches the diagnosis of diabetes.
If you have prediabetes, it can be managed by attention to your weight
 in loosing 5 to 10 percent of your body weight and being physically active. The same thing
applies if you're diagnosed with diabetes but we may well add in medications.
So be like Tom Hanks, follow your doctor's advice and
hopefully you won't transition from prediabetes to diabetes but if you do, make sure you 
follow what your doctor is telling you to do and take your medications.
