Yes, prediabetes can often be reversed with lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, such as vegetables, 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 5-7% of your body weight can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Guidance: Work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan, which may include medications if necessary.

By making these changes, many people can return their blood sugar levels to a normal range and prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
