Reversing prediabetes without medication is possible through lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. 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 5-7% of your body weight can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.
  • Adequate Sleep: Ensure you get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, as poor sleep can affect blood sugar levels.

Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels and routine check-ups with your healthcare provider are also essential to track your progress.
