Yes, prediabetes can often be reversed or managed effectively with lifestyle changes. Here are some key steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • 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 progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels and follow up with your healthcare provider.

Prediabetes is a warning sign, but with the right actions, you can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
