Prediabetes is a condition that precedes diabetes. Prediabetes is a fasting blood sugar of 100 – 125 mg/dl, or a blood sugar of 140 – 200 mg/dl measured 2 hours after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and/or a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 5.7-6.4%. If left untreated, prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by starting to exercise more, eating healthy, and losing a few pounds. Medications may also be prescribed.
Being active is one of the best ways to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes. Losing weight can help in lowering the chances of getting diabetes. One way to become more active is to walk for 30 minutes, five days a week. It can also lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels.
Being overweight can increase the risk of diabetes. A small amount of weight loss of 5% to 7% of total body weight (for example, 10 to 14 pounds for a 200-pound person), and reaching a healthy weight can help in delaying or preventing type 2 diabetes.
