welcome to your health with joan lunden presented by centers for disease control and prevention. >> hi, i'm joan lunden. i remember all too well when my brother was just in his late 20s, over weight, heavy smoker, casual drinker, rarely exercised. it didn't occur to him that his lifestyle made for a deadly combination. he was likely living with prediabetes long before he ever got the news from his doctor that he had full blown type 2 diabetes. never knowing about prediabetes, he never made any lifestyle changes. so the disease took over his life, stole his potential, and he eventually died of complications from the disease. that i am afraid is the sad story for millions of americans, which is why we are being faced with one of the most troubling epidemics this country has seen in decades. nobody should have to go through what we watched my

brother go through. and nobody has to, because understanding your risks, making lifestyle changes, and learning how to manage the disease can literally save your life. today 86 million americans have prediabetes, even more alarming is that 90% of them don't even know they have it. it could be you. let's start with the basics. prediabetes means that your blood sugar levels are elevated, not quite high enough yet to be classified as type 2 diabetes but it means you are at higher risk. type 2 diabetes can lead to heart disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, vision loss, amputations, even death. to find out if you are at risk of pre-diabetes, head to cdc.gov/diabetestv to take a risk test. if the results tell you you are at high risk, go to your doctor to get a simple blood sugar

test. don't panic if numbers show you you have prediabetes but take action. this is one health condition that you can actually reverse by making lifestyle changes with diet and exercise and the cdc led national diabetes prevention program can also help. log on to cdc.gov/diabetestv. i'm joan lunden. >> sponsored by naccd with supp cold will have settled in by the time we hit weekend, it already is, in fact. we are talking temperatures this weekend that do not hit treeing hashing this most locations, probably a flurry town the shore on saturday but more than anything i expect a try, quiet weekend, it is just coal, guys. >> thanks, katie. we are getting a glimpse
