Pre-Diabetes is a very serious medical condition, but it can be treated. After several studies, it is shown that people who are diagnosed with pre-diabetes can stop it from forming into Type 2 Diabetes. They can accomplish this by altering their diet as well as exercising (or for those who already do, exercising more often). In some cases, you may even be able to bring your glucose (blood level) back to what it normally is supposed to be.
Studies also showed that some medications can slow the growth of diabetes in an individual. Furthermore, the study showed that diet and exercise work better than any of the medications that they researched. As for some specific stats, they found that half an hour of exercise a day, and reducing body weight by about five to ten percent, led to about 60% less people diagnosed with diabetes.
As for exercising, it is not very hard to manage, and simply running for 30 minutes a day will suffice. The harder part to control is the diet. Maintaining a diet is something that is not easy, and does indeed require a good amount of dedication. As for what to eat, it is best to cut down on sugars (have none at ALL if you can do so).
Start eating healthier, such as whole wheat foods, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and so on. Do all you can to stay away from sugary products! If you feel like you're having trouble deciding what to eat exactly to stay healthy to treat pre-diabetes, you can definitely consult a doctor or dietitian.
They will be able to tell you exactly what food groups you should be eating from, how many times a day, how many servings, and other important factors. It is hard to create your own diet, as there are many varying factors such as your age, weight, sex, level of physical activity, and so on. This is why consulting a doctor or dietitian is probably the best choice!
