A recent sturdy by the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) revels that prediabetes can be prevented from turning into Type 2 diabetes. Some promising drugs have been revealed, but the DPP says that diet and exercise were more effective in preventing prediabetes from developing into Type 2 diabetes than any of the drugs.

Prediabetes is a serous disease. It's serious, but it can be treated; and by making some serious changes to diet and increasing exercise, Type 2 diabetes can very often be avoided completely or, at the very least, delayed.

Currently, the DPP is working on developing materials that will aid prediabetics from becoming Type 2 diabetics. The idea of the materials is to help people with prediabetes understand their risks and tell them what they can do that will "turn back the clock," so to speak, on developing Type 2 diabetes.

Diet: Making healthy food choices is one of the two most important aspects of preventing prediabetes from developing into Type 2 diabetes. Healthy food choices include choosing fresh fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on nonstarchy choices like spinach, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, green beans, etc.

Choosing whole grain foods over processed grain foods can make a big difference as well. Choose brown rice over white rice. Choose whole wheat spaghetti. Choose whole wheat bread.

Substitute lean meats like fish and chicken for higher-fat meats like beef and pork. Eat fist two or three times a week and remove the skin from chicken and turkey before it is cooked.

Exercise: There's simply no substitute for getting up and moving. It is NEVER too late to begin an exercise program to help prevent prediabetes from developing into full-blown Type 2 diabetes. There are all kinds of exercise methods and exercise programs. Choose one — or just choose to walk a few minutes every single day.
