PREDIABETES…Let’s talk about!!! You can’t discuss diabetes without discussing it. According to the CDC, one third of American adults are categorized as “prediabetic.” That’s 88 million people y'all! The sad part about it is that a large amount of people do not even know that they have prediabetes. So I felt it was only necessary for me to spend some time over the next few post discussing prediabetes.
For today’s video, I will give an overview over prediabetes and what we as nurse practitioners should be aware of. Some may feel this is common knowledge information but I would beg to differ because if that was the case for all providers we wouldn’t be in the predicament that we are in…1/3 of our adult population in this category. So let’s get in to it!

Welcome to Kim E. The Diabetes NP Channel!!! My name is Kim E. and I have a love and passion for prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. I went on a journey a while ago to build upon my knowledge of the disease and found it difficult to find concise and useful information. I realized at that moment that we, as nurse practitioners, needed a resource like this. As I began learning more about the disease and the new advances in education and management, I wanted to be apart of the solution for my fellow colleagues. If this is something that interests you, please come along with me as we grow in our knowledge of Diabetes to better serve our patients.
