The “Grab A Spot In My Schedule
Before It’s Too Late” Special…
Pre-Diabetes is the state in which some -- but not all -- of the
diagnostic criteria for diabetes are met, often described as the "gray
area" between normal blood sugar and diabetic levels. If you are older
than 45 and overweight, you are at increased risk for pre-diabetes.
There are steps you can take today to live a healthier life and
prevent or delay diabetes.
 Find out if you are actually at risk. Talk to your doctor at your next
visit to see if you fit the pre-diabetes risk group.
 Set realistic goals. Start by making small changes. For example, try to
get 15 minutes of physical activity per day, and as the weeks pass,
build up to the recommended 30 minutes of exercise per day.
 Make better diet choices. Try to eat five to nine servings of fruits,
vegetables, beans and grains each day. Reduce the amount of fat in
your diet. When available, choose grilled or baked foods instead of
fried.
 Write it down! Record what you eat and drink each day. Keeping a
food diary is one of the most effective ways to lose weight and keep it
off. For still better results, review your notes with your health care
provider.
 Consistency. Making changes can be tough when your first start. Try
by adding one new healthy change a week. If you slack, get back on
track. The key is just to keep at it.
