More than 2 in 5 American adults have prediabetes. That's over 115 million people, but 8 in 10 adults don't know they have it. The good news is that prediabetes can often be reversed. CDC and the Ad Council launched new public service announcements (PSAs) as part of the Do I Have Prediabetes? awareness campaign that encourages adults to learn their risk and take action.

The campaign uses relatable scenarios to show that while some things in life can't be undone, prediabetes can often be reversed through lifestyle changes. The PSAs encourage people to visit DoIHavePrediabetes.org, or PodriaTenerPrediabetes.org in Spanish, to take the 1-minute prediabetes risk test. They can also learn about lifestyle changes and programs that can help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
