If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, taking proactive steps can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of sugary foods 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 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 and make necessary adjustments.
  • Medical Check-ups: Schedule regular visits with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and discuss any concerns.
