Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. While it is not fully "curable," it can often be reversed or managed effectively through lifestyle changes. Here are some key steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
  • 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 improve blood sugar levels.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels and follow up with your healthcare provider.

With consistent effort, many people with prediabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
