Prediabetes: How to Read Blood Sugar Levels
Few people realize how serious prediabetes is. It’s the only time when we can stop the condition from progressing into type 2 diabetes.
Resist the urge to look away. Yes, changing our lifestyle because of prediabetes is tough. But if we don’t develop healthier habits now, prediabetes might soon become type 2 diabetes.

Step 1: Learn how to read blood sugar levels
Learning about diabetes is daunting. It’s an incredibly complicated condition. The most important step is to learn how to read blood sugar levels.

If the test results fall within the prediabetes range, there’s a problem. It means that our current lifestyle is likely pushing us toward diabetes. Seek medical advice. Take steps to develop healthier habits – and stick to them.
This is the only time when prediabetes can be stopped from progressing to type 2 diabetes.
Step 2: Lose weight
Of course, that sounds easier than it is. But losing weight with prediabetes is a lot easier than losing weight with type 2 diabetes – which might be required if prediabetes isn’t controlled early.
Imagine: Most products in the grocery store have added sugar. Reading the food labels before shopping will be time-consuming. Having to prepare meals ahead of time will be exhausting. Same as with eating the same flavorless meals over and over (and over) again.
The earlier we start eating healthy, the easier it is to improve our health. This is really important. The strongest evidence we have at the moment suggests that the quicker we lose weight after our diagnosis, the more likely it is to reverse the condition.
There’s no “special diet” for managing diabetes. Don’t fall for the hype. The only diabetes meal plan that works is the one we stick to.
But there is an easy management meal plan to follow that’s fully personalized to our needs, such as those produced by the nutritionists of the popular app Klinio.
They focus on making the diet easy to stick to. You start by completing this MD-approved quiz.
Then, you receive a custom meal plan that fits your diabetes type, schedule, food preferences, caloric needs, required carbs, sugar, cholesterol, and other essential metrics.
Neatly organized in easy recipes and weekly shopping lists, so you know exactly what, when, and how much to eat each day.
Step 3: Take it slow, one day at a time
Regardless of its type, diabetes is a serious condition. If left untreated, it can get worse over time. But that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to enjoy a great quality of life after a diagnosis.
Take it slow, one day at a time. Managing prediabetes and diabetes truly boils down to losing weight through a healthy diet and exercise. Resist the urge to complicate things.
There’s no need for special foods or workouts. But there IS a need for an easy-to-follow daily routine that helps spend less time worrying about blood sugar – and more time relaxing and enjoying life.
