The Truth About Prediabetes

A lot of my clients are surprised when they are diagnosed with pre-diabetes. That's why I sat down with metabolic health expert and obesity mediicne speacialist Dr. Maribeth Orr to understand and debunk prediabetes.Pre-diabetes diagnoses mean having higher blood sugar than normal, but not high enough yet for a diabetes diagnosis.  But don’t let the prefix “pre” fool you…..Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.Think of prediabetes as a fork in the road. If you ignore it, your risk for type 2 diabetes goes up. Lose a modest amount of weight and get regular physical activity, and your risk goes down. Modest weight loss means 5% to 7% of body weight, just 10 to 14 pounds for a 200-pound person. Regular physical activity means getting at least 150 minutes a week of brisk walking or similar activity. That's just 30 minutes a day, five days a week.If you are stuck and don’t know where to start, work with a wellness coach who has the knowledge and knowhow.
