Defeating prediabetes; overeating your exercise benefits
Q: I have been diagnosed with prediabetes - my fasting glucose level is 118. What's the smartest way to avoid going on to develop full-blown Type 2 diabetes? - Gregory Y., Albany, N.Y.
A: Prediabetes is something 88 million American adults have (although many do not know they do!), and it comes with its own health challenges, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Without intervention, around 70 percent of folks with prediabetes go on to develop Type 2 diabetes. But that does not have to happen to you. You can reverse prediabetes and reclaim your health.
