If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, the following lifestyle changes can help manage or even reverse the condition:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Limit sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  • 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 type 2 diabetes.
  • Monitoring Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Medical Check-ups: Regular visits to your healthcare provider for A1C tests and other screenings are crucial.

For more detailed guidance, consult your healthcare provider or a dietitian.
