Prediabetes Result
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 such as white bread and pasta, and replace them with whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins.
- Exercise: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as a 30-minute brisk walk five 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 major 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.
