Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

If you've just been told you have prediabetes you are certainly not alone. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 57 million people in the United States are considered to have prediabetes. While the diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming, it may actually alter your life for the better. I had a follow-up session with a lovely woman this week - we have been working together for the past four months - this week we learned that she reduced her HgbA1c and cholesterol considerably. Based on her recent blood work, she no longer falls into the prediabetes category and is feeling great and energized. What did she do? She has lost 20 pounds by making simple, sustainable changes - she exercised more, ate less carbohydrates and increased her vegetable intake. Her most pivotal motivating factor - to prevent Type 2 Diabetes.Prevent Type 2 Diabetes originally appeared on About.com Diabetes on Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 at 12:00:32.Permalink | Comment | Email this
