Reversing prediabetes involves making lifestyle changes to lower your blood sugar levels and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight (5-7% of your body weight) can significantly improve blood sugar levels.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Guidance: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan, which may include medications if necessary.

By adopting these changes, you can improve your insulin sensitivity and potentially reverse prediabetes.
