Diabetes is currently a life-long disease that requires complex therapy, education and lifestyle modifications to avoid the serious complications associated with it.

Fortunately, onset of diabetes mellitus Type 2 can be delayed or prevented in people with prediabetes. The efforts (diet, exercise, weight reduction etc.) to keep blood glucose levels close to normal (fasting levels below 126 mg/dl), is a proven method to prevent diabetes. Since diabetes is a metabolic syndrome and glucose disorder is just one part of it, high blood pressure and cholesterol also have to be kept under strict control. This should be a long-term goal to good health. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is always recommended.
