Treatment & Monitoring
What are the treatments for the condition?
Modest lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, weight loss, and modest daily exercise are the main treatments for this condition. The following guidelines may help:
What are the side effects of the treatments?
There are no side effects from making the lifestyle changes that will help treat pre-diabetes.
What happens after treatment for the condition?
For some people who have pre-diabetes, making these changes can actually turn back the clock and return high blood glucose levels to a healthy range.
How is the condition monitored?
The FPG or OGTT test should be repeated at least every 1 to 2 years as long as a person still has pre-diabetes. If blood glucose levels fall back within the healthy range, then testing can be done every 3 years.
