2. It can be avoided altogether.
By eating right, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight, you can prevent prediabetes and other serious health conditions, including hypertension and heart disease.
“Maintain a healthy lifestyle of a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in fiber and regular exercise,” Dr. Oyeyipo says.
3. It can be genetic.
Family history plays a strong role in many health risks and prediabetes is certainly no exception. If someone in your family has prediabetes, you have a higher risk of developing the disease.
Dr. Oyeyipo says, “There is the nature side of prediabetes – genetics – which you cannot influence and there is the nurture side to prediabetes – lifestyle choices – which you are in complete control of.”
