Reversing prediabetes and returning to normal blood sugar levels is possible with lifestyle changes. 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 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 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track progress.
  • Medical Guidance: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan, which may include medications if necessary.

Consistency is key, and these changes can help prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
