4 Mistakes You Need to Avoid Prediabetes Patients

If the results of blood sugar levels continue to be high in recent times, do not ignore because it could be you in the prediabetes phase. Prediabetes is the threshold to actually develop diabetes.
But in fact, people with prediabetes are not forever bound to become diabetic. According to a study published in the journal The Lancet, pre-diabetic patients who had a blood sugar test results with normal limits though only once and in a short period, has 56 percent more likely to avoid diabetes.
In other words, lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce the risk of prediabetes to diabetes patients. Unfortunately, not all pre-diabetes patients are aware of this so that their risk was still high.
Here are four mistakes to avoid prediabetes to reduce the risk of diabetes.
1. Not trying to lose weightThought a little weight reduction has no effect apparently wrong. A large-scale study revealed that 5 to 7 percent reduction in body weight can reduce the risk of diabetes by 58 percent. The study involved 3,234 people who pre-diabetes followed for three years.


Mean weight loss reduce belly fat, fat around the internal organs, including the liver, the organ that regulates blood sugar levels.
Effortless weight loss can reproduce the pattern of food and physical activity.
2. Ignoring the diagnosis of prediabetesWhen you are diagnosed with prediabetes, not even once shrugged. Because if you do not change your lifestyle, sooner or later you are likely to have diabetes.
In fact, 10 to 15 percent of patients prediabetes can develop into diabetes illness in eight to ten years later. Their risk to develop serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, nerve disorders, loss of vision, kidney failure, and amputation of legs increases.
3. Do not exerciseExercise can prevent prediabetes to diabetes. Exercise can help you lose weight, reduce belly fat and make muscle "absorb" more blood sugar, and increase insulin sensitivity.
A study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that women who walk fast 30 minutes every day has a risk diabates 30 percent lower than those who did not.
4. Forget the fiberFiber can fight diabetes in several ways. First, fiber can help weight loss. Second, fiber helps control blood sugar after meals. In addition, fiber-containing foods generally also contain other nutrients, such as magnesium and chromium which helps the body regulate blood sugar.
So, make sure you consume enough fiber each day. Fiber can be obtained from vegetables and fruits, as well as food products whole wheat, and brown rice.
