What is pre diabetes?

2025/5/20 Edited to

... Read morePre diabetes is a health condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that are not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes. It's a significant warning sign and affects millions worldwide. Individuals with pre diabetes often experience insulin resistance, where the body does not effectively use insulin. This can lead to higher blood sugar levels over time and ultimately progress to type 2 diabetes if not addressed. The good news is that pre diabetes can often be reversed through lifestyle changes. Emphasizing healthy eating habits, incorporating physical activity into daily routines, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential strategies for preventing the progression to diabetes. Regular check-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor blood sugar levels can also play a vital role in managing and reversing pre diabetes. Education and support from healthcare providers, along with community resources, can empower those at risk to take proactive steps in their health journey.
