To manage or reverse prediabetes, consider the following steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced 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 Consultation: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan, which may include medications if necessary.

Reversing prediabetes requires consistent lifestyle changes, and it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for tailored advice.
