6 Precursors To Prediabetes You Should Be On The Lookout For

2. Lack of Exercise

Lack of proper physical activity isn’t just harmful to your body but also can lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety as well. An article in Prevention says that 1 in 3 Americans who have prediabetes have found favorable results by making changes in their diet by eliminating sugar-filled, carb-filled foods that make your body resistant to the insulin your pancreas creates.

But they also note that while diet plays a significant role, so does exercise. A study in Finland that monitored subjects who exercised regularly found that their risk of diabetes dropped by an impressive 70% when compared to those that were inactive. The article suggests a regimen of low-intensity exercise with high-impact moves mixed in at intervals to be the best for glucose control.
