What are Pre-diabetes and Insulin Resistance?

Pre-diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin Resistance, a condition where the body’s cells don’t respond effectively to insulin, is a common precursor to pre-diabetes and diabetes. These conditions are often silent but can lead to serious health risks if left unmanaged. By addressing them early with proper nutrition and lifestyle changes, you can prevent the progression to Type 2 Diabetes and improve your overall health.
