To reverse prediabetes and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, consider the following steps:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbs.
  • 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 progressing to 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.

Prediabetes is reversible with lifestyle changes, and early intervention is key to preventing type 2 diabetes.
