  <title>1031 - What is Prediabetes?</title>
  <description>About this episode: Prediabetes—a diagnosis characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that&amp;amp;nbsp;can&amp;amp;nbsp;progress to Type 2 diabetes—is&amp;amp;nbsp;embroiled in&amp;amp;nbsp;debate about whether the condition is clinically “real,” and, if so, what the threshold for diagnosis should be. In this episode: Epidemiologist and diabetes expert Elizabeth Selvin breaks down the&amp;amp;nbsp;controversy&amp;amp;nbsp;surrounding&amp;amp;nbsp;prediabetes and why she thinks the diagnosis offers an&amp;amp;nbsp;opportunity&amp;amp;nbsp;for intervention. Guest: Elizabeth Selvin, PhD, MPH, is a professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where she studies diagnosis and screening for diabetes and prediabetes. Host: Dr. Josh Sharfstein is distinguished professor of the practice in Health Policy and Management, a pediatrician, and former secretary of Maryland’s Health Department.
