Pre-Diabetes Overview

Are-you-pre-diabeticAccording to a study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the prevalence of prediabetes in India is estimated to be around 10-15% of the total population. This translates to approximately 77 million people in India who are living with prediabetes.

Several factors contribute to the high prevalence of prediabetes in India, including a genetic predisposition, unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles, and increasing rates of obesity. Additionally, the lack of awareness about the condition and its risks, as well as limited access to healthcare services, further exacerbate the problem.

It is important for individuals with prediabetes to make lifestyle changes such as exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Early diagnosis and management of prediabetes can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes and associated complications.

What is Pre-Diabetes?

Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. 

Pre-diabetes is a warning sign that something is not right with your metabolism. Without intervention, pre-diabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes, which is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management. However, the good news is that pre-diabetes can be reversed with lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise.

There are several remedial measures that can be taken to manage pre-diabetes, including:

  1. Healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet can help manage blood sugar levels. Foods with a low glycemic index, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

  2. Exercise: Regular physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

  3. Weight management: Losing weight can help reduce insulin resistance and improve blood sugar levels.

  4. Medications: Certain medications may be prescribed to manage pre-diabetes. For example, Metformin may be prescribed to improve insulin sensitivity.
