To effectively manage and potentially reverse prediabetes, consider the following steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Limit intake of refined sugars 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.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Consultation: Work with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan, which may include medications if necessary.

Consistency and lifestyle changes are key to managing prediabetes effectively.
