2023-05-10 03:52:27

When a person maintains an unhealthy lifestyle, the body does not take long to respond negatively. Some of the detrimental health changes a person may face are increased blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood glucose.

Precisely, the latter, sugar or glucose in the blood, too high levels increase the risk of chronic metabolic disease such as diabeteswhich, if not treated properly, can be deadly.

However, when glucose is at high levels, before a health professional declares diabetes, prediabetes is established, a state that is reversible and represents a “new opportunity” for anyone.

“Prediabetes means you have a higher than normal blood glucose level. It’s still not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes, but without lifestyle changes, adults and children with prediabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. If you have prediabetes, the long-term damage of diabetes may already be beginning (especially in the heart, blood vessels and kidneys)”, indicates the portal of Mayo Clinic.

And he adds that “the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes is not inevitable. Eating healthy foods, being physically active as part of your daily routine, and maintaining a healthy weight can help bring your blood glucose back to normal. The same lifestyle changes that can help prevent type 2 diabetes in adults can also help bring blood glucose levels back to normal in children.”

If you do not take action on the matter in what corresponds to diet and the practice of physical activity, you end up declaring diabetes and from there, A medical process is started in which glucose is kept stable, so that the person can maintain an acceptable lifestyle.

If a person who had prediabetes and suffers from diabetes does not follow medical recommendations, they can put their lives at risk. Therefore, it is important to follow a treatment in a certified health center.

Like diabetes, prediabetes causes some symptoms. In accordance with Mayo Clinicare the following:

  • Increased thirst.
  • Frequent urination.
  • Increased hunger.
  • Fatigue.
  • Blurry vision.
  • Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands.
  • Frequent infections.
  • Sores that are slow to heal.
  • Unintentional weight loss.

Foods that lower blood sugar

When you have prediabetes, the following foods can be eaten to lower blood sugar, according to Know how to live:

1. Celery. “With a very low glycemic index (15), celery helps avoid glucose spikes. It is a great diuretic that facilitates the work of the kidneys, prevents fluid retention and helps eliminate toxins. Celery is also a great cardiovascular ally that contributes to lowering cholesterol thanks to its fiber and regulating blood pressure due to its potassium content”, he affirms.

3. Chard. “The fiber from chard slows down the intestinal absorption of glucose, and this makes its glycemic index only 15,” concludes the platform.
