Prediabetes is a preliminary stage of diabetes with already elevated blood glucose levels. Since it is not felt, prediabetes is often only discovered during a routine check in the family doctor's office. But what does this mean for those affected?

The program "Visite" investigated this question and also spoke with DZD scientist Prof. Robert Wagner. He explains the different risks that result depending on the scientifically defined type.
