12 Signs You May Have Prediabetes, How to Detect It, and How to Control It

by

  • Fasting Blood Sugar Test: Levels between 100–125 mg/dL indicate prediabetes.

  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures how your body processes sugar.

  • Hemoglobin A1C Test: A reading between 5.7% and 6.4% suggests prediabetes.

How to Control and Reverse Prediabetes

The best news is that prediabetes doesn’t have to progress to diabetes. With the right changes, you can reverse it:

  1. Adopt a Balanced Diet: Focus on whole foods, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Avoid processed sugars and refined carbs.

  2. Exercise Regularly: At least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week improves insulin sensitivity.

  3. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Even a 5–7% weight loss can significantly reduce diabetes risk.
