Do these things in the prediabetes stage to easily control blood sugar!
Diabetes is something that everyone is familiar with, as the incidence of diabetes has been increasing due to changes in diet and lifestyle. However, in addition to diabetes patients, there is also a considerable number of people whose blood sugar levels are elevated. This stage, which exceeds normal blood sugar levels but does not meet the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, is referred to as 'prediabetes.'

How can one 'reverse' prediabetes?
The so-called 'reversal' means that patients in the prediabetes stage can achieve the goal of easily controlling blood sugar by changing unhealthy lifestyles, such as adjusting their diet, increasing exercise, losing weight, quitting smoking, and other changes.
-
Healthy diet. Eat more low-sugar fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Ensure food diversity to achieve goals while maintaining taste and nutrition. -
More exercise. Based on your current level of exercise, strive to increase it a little every day. If you are often sitting throughout the day, you can set an alarm to remind yourself to stretch and walk around every hour. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as jogging, swimming, or cycling. -
Lose excess weight. If you are overweight, aim to lose 5% to 7% of your body weight (for example, if you weigh 91 kg, you should aim to lose about 6.4 kg), which can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. -
Quit smoking. Smoking increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In addition, it also increases the risk of heart disease and other diabetes-related complications. Whether you are in the prediabetes stage or not, you must quit smoking!!! -
Medication treatment as needed. If the risk of developing diabetes is relatively high, doctors may recommend medication to help lower blood sugar. Additionally, based on physical conditions, doctors may prescribe medications to control cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.
