Pre-diabetes can be treated
The good news about pre-diabetes is that it can be treated, and through treatment the onset of Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or even prevented.
Whether you want to prevent getting pre-diabetes or reduce your chances of it progressing to Type 2 diabetes, the advice is the same. You need to make changes to your lifestyle by doing regular physical activity and eating healthily.
Here are some tips for making these lifestyle changes:
Eat foods that are low in fat and high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, beans, wholegrain breads and cereals
Space your meals evenly throughout the day
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week
Remember to talk to your doctor before starting a new type of exercise to make sure it's safe
Reduce your weight by 5-7 percent as even a small weight loss has been found to make a big difference to the impact of pre-diabetes
Maintain your weight loss
Include the whole family in lifestyle changes - look after the future health of your children by teaching them healthy behaviours
By taking action to manage your blood glucose when you have pre-diabetes, you can prevent Type 2 diabetes from ever developing – and that’s good news!"
