Yes, it is possible to recover from prediabetes and prevent or delay the progression to type 2 diabetes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help manage blood sugar levels.
  • Physical Activity: Regular exercise, such as 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Weight Management: Losing 5-7% of your body weight can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
  • Monitoring: Regular A1C tests and blood sugar monitoring can help track progress.

Consult with a healthcare professional for a personalized plan to manage prediabetes effectively.
