Prediabetes — The Window of Reversal
98 million Americans have prediabetes. Most don’t know it. The good news: it’s fully reversible with the right metabolic strategy — before it becomes type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes Guides: Where to Start
Prediabetes is often the first clear sign that blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, sleep, stress, movement, and daily food choices are starting to interact in a less stable way. The good news is that this stage is also highly actionable, especially when the focus shifts from fear to practical, repeatable habits.
This section helps you understand what prediabetes means, how A1C and fasting glucose fit into the bigger picture, which symptoms and progression signs are worth noticing, and how nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and daily routines may support better metabolic health over time.
