Many people are able to bring their blood sugar levels back into the normal range after being diagnosed with prediabetes. Everyone's situation is different, but healthy lifestyle changes can make a big difference. It would be interesting to hear from others here who have successfully managed or reversed their prediabetes and what worked for them.

If one sticks as close to nature as possible on an almost no sugar or salt diet, it can be done. Reading "Sigar Blues" was wake-up call for me. It’s called diet-controlled diabetes. I am now on the Paleo diet and do yoga daily.
