"If You Have Prediabetes, Here’s How To Prevent Getting Diabetes" - Ronald Tamler, MD, PhD
If you are among the 84 million people in the United States who have prediabetes, there is one important thing to know: Developing diabetes is not inevitable. Those who learn they have prediabetes can often reverse their condition and prevent diabetes through lifestyle changes alone, or with medication. “By altering your lifestyle now, you can improve your health for years to come as you stave off diabetes and lower your risk for deadly heart attacks, strokes, and other devastating conditions,” said Ronald Tamler, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and medical director of the Mount Sinai clinical diabetes institute. “The earlier you catch elevated blood sugar, the easiest it is to turn back the clock,” added Dr. Tamler.
