Summary
In part two of our prediabetes series, hosts Jessica Jones and Wendy Lopez tackle the burning question: How long does it take to reverse prediabetes? We discuss whether it's possible to reverse prediabetes permanently and explore the essential strategies, key milestones, and success factors involved. From food choices and swaps to exercise plans and other lifestyle changes, we break down the steps you can take to manage and potentially reverse prediabetes. Learn about the importance of reduced HbA1c levels, lowered fasting blood glucose levels, and enhanced insulin sensitivity as key indicators of progress. We also highlight the role of working with a dietitian to track goals, milestones, and overall progress!
