Have you heard of the term prediabetes?

Prediabetes, sometimes called borderline diabetes, means your blood sugar levels are higher than they should be.

If you have prediabetes, you have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but by making health changes it is often possible to prevent type 2 and even reverse the diagnosis.

Prediabetes is estimated to affect around one in 12 people and is diagnosed with a blood test. It's more common in people living with overweight and obesity but can also affect people of a healthy weight.

Dementia can make it tough to talk about the future.

As the condition progresses, people with dementia are likely to need support. This could include having someone who can help manage their finances, arrange care or make medical decisions on their behalf.

It can be difficult to think and talk about these things. Some people find it reassuring, while others would rather not think about it. Everyone is different.

But there can be real benefits to having these conversations, even when they’re not easy.

Talking about the person’s wishes through to the end of their life can help family, friends, and medical professionals understand and respect those wishes.

It can also help give back a feeling of control at what can be an uncertain time.

It’s also worth remembering that some legal steps, like making a will or setting up lasting power of attorney, require the person to have the ability (known as mental capacity) to make those decisions. So it’s a good idea to have a discussion about these early after diagnosis, if you can.

Here’s our advice for how to have this conversation.

And if you have any other tips from your own experience, make sure to share them in the comments.
