Simple Ways To Treat Prediabetes

Take Recommended Medications

Individuals considered to be a high risk for developing type II diabetes may be prescribed medication. The only medication recommended by the American Diabetes Association is metformin, which works to reduce the amount of extra glucose the liver makes, effectively lowering the patient's chances of developing diabetes. In addition to this medication, a doctor may recommend drugs that aim to control high blood pressure and cholesterol, due to the known link between these things and developing type II diabetes. Generally speaking, it is better to control prediabetes with diet and lifestyle changes. That being said, when recommended, it is important to take medication.
