what to do in prediabetes

If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, taking action can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Here are some steps you can take:

• Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit sugary foods and refined carbs.
• 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: Keep track of your blood sugar levels as advised by your healthcare provider.
• Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular visits with your doctor to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
