“Pre-diabetes is a warning sign that your blood sugar is higher than normal, but it’s still reversible with the right lifestyle changes,” Shweta wrote in the caption. She further lists 4 practical steps to manage it effectively:
1. Manage stress and sleep
Chronic stress and poor sleep increase cortisol, which raises blood sugar. Prioritise 7–8 hours of quality sleep and stress-busting activities like meditation or short walks.
2. Movement matters
Regular physical activity helps your muscles use glucose better. Even 30 minutes of daily walking or home workouts can make a huge difference.
3. Reduce simple carbs
Foods like white bread, sugar, and sweets spike blood sugar. Swap them with fibre-rich, low-GI alternatives like oats, dal, vegetables, and whole grains.
4. Stop late dinners
Eating too late disturbs insulin regulation and digestion. Aim to finish dinner at least 2–3 hours before bedtime.
“Small, consistent changes today can prevent full-blown diabetes tomorrow. Remember, pre-diabetes isn’t permanent, it’s a wake-up call!” concludes Shweta.
