Pre-Diabetes

Pre-Diabetes is a serious condition in which blood glucose levels are elevated above normal but not yet to the level of diabetes. One in three Americans have prediabetes, and of those, 80% don’t know it. Testing is critical to determine your risk of pre-diabetes.

 

Lessening carbs and sugars in your diet will help lower your A1C. Try giving up just one thing and replacing it with a healthy habit, such as trading out soda for water instead. Even losing 10 to 15 pounds will significantly lower your risk of diabetes. In addition, increase how active you are with mild forms of exercise such as walking or swimming. If you find something you enjoy, you’ll be more likely to stick with it. 

 

Good luck!
