Summary
Many people today are living with pre-diabetes, a warning sign that they are already on the path to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. But given the tools to change, patients can choose to take a different path-- the path toward good health and prevention or delay of the onset of type 2 diabetes.
This video explains pre-diabetes. It outlines a prevention plan that includes working with a healthcare provider to monitor blood glucose (FPGT and OGTT tests), making healthy food choices, getting regular physical activity, taking oral medications if prescribed and getting psychological support. Based on results from the Diabetes Prevention Program the video emphasizes the benefits of healthy lifestyle choices as the best way to prevent type 2 diabetes.
