Prediabetes - Prevention

Prevention

The American College of Endocrinology (ACE) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) have developed lifestyle intervention guidelines for preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes:

  • Healthy meals (low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt diet)
  • Physical exercise (45 minutes of exercise per day, five days a week)
  • Reducing weight by as little as 5-10 percent can have a significant impact on overall health.
