Yes, prediabetes is reversible. Here are some steps you can take to reverse prediabetes and prevent it from progressing to type 2 diabetes:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Adopt a healthy diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Reduce intake of sugary and processed foods.
  • Physical Activity: Engage in regular exercise, such as brisk walking, for at least 150 minutes per week.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight (5-7% of your body weight) can significantly reduce your risk of developing diabetes.
  • Regular Monitoring: Work with your healthcare provider to monitor your blood sugar levels and A1C regularly.

By making these changes, you can often return your blood sugar levels to a normal range and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
