Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Here are some steps to help reduce prediabetes:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of sugary foods and refined carbs.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight (5-7% of your body weight) can significantly reduce your risk of progressing to diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Check-ups: Visit your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and follow their advice on managing prediabetes.
