To stop prediabetes from progressing to type 2 diabetes, consider the following steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. 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 diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Check-ups: Visit your healthcare provider for regular A1C tests and other screenings.

By making these lifestyle changes, you can reverse prediabetes and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
