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

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed foods and added sugars.
  • 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 improve blood sugar levels.
  • Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels and follow up with your healthcare provider.

Reversing prediabetes reduces your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other health complications.
