You must realize it can take 10-15 years of pre-diabetes in your body before actual diabetes shows up. You can and should begin early to avoid it or minimize it. But when it does show up, the main aims of treatment are:
• KEEP YOUR blood glucose level as near normal as possible. After we eat, carbohydrates break down into glucose, a sugar that is the body’s primary source of energy. Glucose then enters the bloodstream. The pancreas responds by producing insulin, which allows glucose to enter the body’s cells to provide energy. You want to regulate blood sugar levels. Other starchy carbohydrate foods such as potato, rice or breakfast cereals break down into surprising amounts of glucose, too.
• REDUCE ANY other risk factors that may increase
