how to help prediabetes

If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, there are several steps you can take to help manage and potentially reverse the condition:

• Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
• 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 and make necessary adjustments.
• Medical Check-ups: Regular visits to your healthcare provider can help monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
