Adherence
Lifestyle intervention, specifically combining regular physical activity with nutritious dietary changes, significantly reduces the risk of progression from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes.
If you have pre-diabetes, you can likely reverse it. Focus on two things: move your body regularly (moderate to intense exercise helps insulin sensitivity) and eat a diet rich in fiber (whole grains, bran) while cutting out sugary drinks. You don't need perfection, but consistency matters. This approach can lower your risk of developing full-blown diabetes by up to 40%.
To prevent pre-diabetes from developing into T2DM, lifestyle intervention has been found to be very promising.
