Understanding Pre-Diabetes

What Is Pre-Diabetes?

Pre-diabetes occurs when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. This condition is a warning sign that you are at risk of developing diabetes if you do not make lifestyle changes.

Symptoms of Pre-Diabetes

Pre-diabetes often has no clear symptoms, but some signs to watch out for include:

• Increased Thirst: Feeling unusually thirsty can be an early indication of elevated blood sugar levels.
• Frequent Urination: Needing to urinate more frequently than usual, especially at night.
• Fatigue: Feeling more tired than usual even without significant changes in activity levels.
• Blurred Vision: Experiencing blurred vision can occur when blood sugar levels are too high.
• Slow-Healing Sores: Cuts and bruises that heal more slowly than normal may be a symptom.

Pre-Diabetes Treatments

Immediate Treatments

If you suspect you have pre-diabetes, immediate action can help manage it and prevent progression:

• Diet Modification: Adopting a balanced diet low in refined sugars and high in fiber.
• Regular Exercise: Engaging in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week.
• Weight Management: Losing excess weight can significantly improve blood sugar control.

Long-Term Management

Managing pre-diabetes over the long term involves continuous lifestyle adjustments and medical monitoring:

• Healthy Eating Habits: Following a consistent meal plan that includes plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
• Consistent Physical Activity: Incorporating both aerobic exercises and strength training into your routine.
• Regular Health Check-Ups: Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly and consulting with healthcare professionals for guidance.
