Pre-Diabetes

So they told you that you have pre-diabetes. That means your HgbA1C is above 5.7% and can lead to type 2 diabetes.

“Type 2 diabetes, in which the body doesn’t use insulin properly, is on the rise in the United States. There are more than 35 million people with the condition, and many are diagnosed when they are young, even in adolescence. Prediabetes can be seen as a warning sign—it’s the body’s way of saying that your insulin levels are rising. You can still prevent or delay type 2 diabetes by losing weight—even a modest amount—with the help of dietary changes, stress reduction, and physical activity. Taking medication can also help.” (Katella, 2023).

Start reading labels, reduce your sugar in take and start exercising, it will make a difference. The goals is to prevent diabetes at all cost. Eating two pieces of bread can increase your blood sugar. A diet change is imperative and with this you will lose weight.
