Can Diet And Exercise Reverse Prediabetes?

Can diet and exercise reverse prediabetes, and what does the evidence show in Europe?Prediabetes reversal explained: impaired fasting glucose, HbA1c range, insulin resistance, weight reduction, and lifestyle intervention outcomes.In this episode, we examine whether structured diet and physical activity can return blood glucose levels to the non-diabetic range under EU medical guidance.You’ll learn:• What defines prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7–6.4% / 39–47 mmol/mol)• How insulin resistance develops• Evidence from lifestyle intervention trials• The role of weight loss (5–10%) in improving glycaemic control• Why resistance training improves glucose uptake• When metformin may be considered• Red flag signs of progression to type 2 diabetes• Situations where medication requests may be declined pending lifestyle trialWe explain how doctors assess HbA1c trends, fasting glucose, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid profile, family history, and physical activity levels during an online consultation in the EU. Prediabetes can often be improved with sustained lifestyle change, but monitoring is essential to prevent progression.This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where metabolic consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.Read the full guide and transcript here:https://www.mobidoctor.eu/blog/can-diet-and-exercise-reverse-prediabetes
