Why diet matters so much
Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet diabetes (MedlinePlus). It is the stage where changes work best: the CDC-recognized lifestyle program cut type 2 risk by 58% (CDC).
The rules
- Plate method: half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter carbs (MedlinePlus).
- Fiber first: beans, lentils, oats, vegetables, berries (MedlinePlus).
- Smart carbs: whole grains instead of white bread, white rice and pastries.
- Drinks: water, unsweetened tea or coffee.
- Portions: the Dietary Guidelines help with balanced amounts (DGA).
