“The tricky part is that many people with prediabetes don't feel any different, so it's important…”
Prediabetes is when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be called diabetes. It’s a warning sign that you could develop type 2 diabetes, but it doesn’t always mean you will. Prediabetes is also linked to other health problems like heart disease and stroke. The tricky part is that many people with prediabetes don’t feel any different, so it’s important to have regular check-ups to catch it early and take action.
To manage prediabetes, there are a few lifestyle changes you can make:
Healthy Eating: Fill your plate with fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. Cut back on processed foods, sugary drinks, and fatty foods.
Stay Active: Regular exercise like walking, biking, or swimming helps your body use sugar better, keeping your blood sugar levels in check.
Watch Your Weight: Even losing a little weight if you’re overweight can make a big difference. Dropping just 5-7% of your body weight can help manage prediabetes.
Keep Up with Check-ups: Consult clinician are important for keeping an eye on your blood sugar levels and adjusting your plan as needed.
Quit Smoking: Smoking raises your risk for diabetes and other health issues. Quitting can improve your overall health and help stop prediabetes from turning into full-blown diabetes.
Easy on the Booze: Too much alcohol can mess with your blood pressure and fat levels, making diabetes more likely. Keep it moderate or cut back.
Medication: Sometimes, Lee might prescribe medicine to help control your blood sugar levels.
By making these changes, you can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and keep yourself healthier in the long run.
