Losing weight with prediabetes can help improve blood sugar control and reduce the 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. Avoid sugary drinks and processed foods.
  • Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
  • Behavioral Changes: Consider working with a dietitian or joining a weight loss program to develop sustainable habits.
  • Monitor Progress: Regularly check your weight and blood sugar levels to track your progress.

Consult with a healthcare provider to create a personalized plan that suits your needs.
