How do you treat prediabetes?

If left untreated, prediabetes can quickly turn into diabetes. However, Dr. Carlos Ventura has several patients who have managed their prediabetes for decades.

With a few lifestyle changes, you can keep your blood sugar from reaching diabetic levels. While family history is a big risk factor when it comes to type 2 diabetes, so are diet and physical activity.

Dr. Ventura suggests eating and drinking fewer carbs and doing something active three to four days a week—whatever that looks like to you.

Have a conversation with your care team to determine if you have prediabetes and what treatment options or lifestyle changes are available for you.
