Studies have shown that people with prediabetes can reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by taking part in a structured program of lifestyle changes. Participants have lost 5% to 7% of their weight by choosing a healthier diet and performing as little as 150 minutes of physical activity/exercise per week.
