Publisher's Synopsis
Affecting 79 million Americans, prediabetes often develops into full-blown type 2 diabetes, one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Increasingly diagnosed by doctors, prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are elevated, but not yet high enough to be labeled diabetes. While diabetes cannot be cured, prediabetes can be reversed, so it is critical to take action at an early stage. The ugly truth is, however, that you will never be able to fully understand what you will be required to eat on the Prediabetes diet unless you fully understand what Prediabetes actually is. The term prediabetes refers to state in which our bodies face higher than normal blood glucose levels that are not yet at the level for it to be called type 2 diabetes. The blood sugar level readings for this stage are around 7.0 mm/L in fasting plasma or 6.5% or higher in A1C. We will make sure that recipes are specifically aimed for that stage of diabetes.
