Losing weight can be an effective way to manage prediabetes and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Here are some strategies:

  • Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary drinks and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
  • Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.
  • Behavioral Changes: Consider working with a dietitian or joining a support group to help you stay on track.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new diet or exercise program, especially if you have prediabetes.
