Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Before diabetes is diagnosed, there is a period when the blood sugar level is high but not high enough to be diagnose as diabetes. Eating of sugary foods and refined carbs can put one at risk of diabetes. Rather than viewing pre-diabetes as a stepping stone to diabetes, it may be helpful to see it as a motivator for making changes that can help reduce the risk of diabetes. Eating the right foods and adopting lifestyle behaviours that promote healthy blood sugar and insulin level will give the best chance of avoiding diabetes.
