Yes, prediabetes can often be reversed or delayed from progressing to type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit 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 reduce your risk.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels and follow up with your healthcare provider.

Prediabetes is a warning sign, but with the right steps, you can improve your health and prevent diabetes.
