Adherence

Lifestyle interventions (diet and exercise) reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes in individuals with prediabetes, but the benefit is primarily established for those with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and may not apply to those with isolated Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG).

If you have prediabetes, lifestyle changes are your first line of defense. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week and a healthy diet. Even if you don't lose the full 7% of your body weight, just meeting the exercise goal can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
