Reversing prediabetes involves making significant lifestyle changes to improve your blood sugar levels and overall health. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • 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.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Guidance: Consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and possibly medication if needed.

These changes can help you reverse prediabetes and prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
