2 - Get plenty of exercise :
Research indicates that physical exercise increases the insulin sensitivity of cells... when you exercise, less insulin is required to enable your blood glucose to enter your cells.
Many types of physical activity reduce blood glucose levels in pre-diabetic adults who are obese or overweight... including aerobic exercise, strength training and high-intensity interval training.
One study of pre-diabetics indicated that high-intensity exercise increased insulin sensitivity by 85%... while moderately intense exercise increased it my more than 50%. But this effect only happened on the days that they actually worked out.
Another study found that to improve insulin response in pre-diabetics, they needed to burn at least 2,000 calories a week through exercise... but that is not too hard to do if you set your mind to it.
The trick is to find a physical activity you enjoy and can undertake regularly, and then stick to it for the long-term.
