Yes, prediabetes 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. Limit processed foods and sugars.
  • 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 developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Regular Monitoring: Keep track of your blood sugar levels and have regular check-ups with your healthcare provider.

While prediabetes can often be reversed, it’s important to maintain these healthy habits to prevent it from returning or progressing to type 2 diabetes.
