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.

For more personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.
