Yes, prediabetes can often be reversed with lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed foods and added 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 progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regular monitoring can help you track your progress and make necessary adjustments.
  • Medical Guidance: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan, which may include medications if needed.

Reversing prediabetes is possible, but it requires consistent effort and commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
