Pat
Diagnosed with prediabetes.
Even though my dad had diabetes I didn’t know a lot about it, as it wasn’t talked about.
Despite having a family history of diabetes, it was only when Pat had a routine blood test that he realised he had developed prediabetes, putting him at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
