Controlling prediabetes involves lifestyle changes and regular monitoring to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Limit intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
  • 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 developing diabetes.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Check-ups: Visit your healthcare provider for regular A1C tests and other screenings.

For more detailed guidance, consult your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan.
