"Preventing and Reversing Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes: Expert Advice"

Prediabetes, a condition where blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes, can be managed and even reversed with lifestyle changes. Registered dietitians recommend avoiding skipping meals, as it can lead to irregular blood sugar patterns, increased appetite, and difficulty managing blood sugar levels. Instead, they suggest making time for daily physical activity, following the Diabetes Plate Method, choosing low-glycemic foods, and planning ahead to ensure regular, balanced meals, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels and support overall health.
