To stop prediabetes from progressing to 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 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 diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Check-ups: Visit your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your health and adjust your plan as needed.

Prediabetes is reversible with lifestyle changes, so taking action early is crucial.
