Yes, prediabetes is treatable and often reversible with lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
  • Weight Management: Losing 5-10% of your body weight can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Monitoring: Regular blood sugar checks and follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential.

Prediabetes is a warning sign, but with the right steps, you can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
