The Prediabetes Exit Strategy

Don’t Take “Borderline” Blood Sugar Lightly.
An evidence-based plan to bring your A1C back to normal with food, movement, sleep and simple daily habits.

About this book

Don't take "borderline" glucose lightly.

If your A1C is between 5.7% and 6.4% (39 to 47 mmol/mol), or your fasting glucose is between 100 and 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L), you have prediabetes. The CDC estimates that 115 million American adults have it, and about 8 in 10 don't know. In the UK, Diabetes UK estimates 6.9 million people are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes based on their blood sugar.

The good news is that prediabetes is a window of opportunity. In the US Diabetes Prevention Program, lifestyle change cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58%.

The Prediabetes Exit Strategy explains what is happening in your body and how changing the way you eat, move, sleep and manage daily life, along with a few simple metabolic strategies, can change the course of your health.

Who this book is for

  • Adults told their blood sugar is borderline, high-normal or prediabetic

  • People with a family history of type 2 diabetes who want to act early

  • Anyone with insulin resistance, fatty liver, PCOS or a growing waistline

  • Family members who want to help someone they care about

What you'll learn

  • What insulin resistance is and why it starts years before diabetes

  • How food choices, movement, sleep and stress affect your glucose

  • Practical metabolic strategies to bring your numbers back towards normal

  • How to have a better-informed conversation with your doctor

Read it. Gift it to someone you care about. Or take it to your doctor and start a different conversation about your metabolic health.
