If you've been diagnosed with prediabetes, taking proactive steps can help reverse the condition and prevent it from progressing to type 2 diabetes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
  • Weight Management: Losing even 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: Follow up with your healthcare provider for regular A1C tests and personalized advice.
