Key Information
● A Crucial Opportunity: Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet in the Type 2 Diabetes range. This is a reversible warning sign, not a final verdict.
● Healthy Eating: Focus on "smart swaps" rather than punishment. For example, reduce ultra-processed foods and refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta) and replace them with whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins.
● Exercise: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity a week (eg a 30-minute brisk walk, 5 times a week). You know you are at the right intensity if you can talk comfortably while moving, but you cannot sing.
● Weight Management: If you carry extra weight, losing just 5% of your body weight can have a massive impact on reversing the condition.
What Happens Next?
We will plan to re-check your blood tests in a few months to monitor your progress. In the meantime, the power to change your health is in your hands.
