Ans: Hello. Diabetes or prediabetes is generally a disease of increased insulin resistance. Which means the insulin levels are actually already high but are inefficient. SO, the right question to ask is how to decrease insulin resistance. This can be done in the following ways:
1. Reduce carbohydrates in the diet to a very minimal level.
2. Intermittent fasting: Fasting for about 14-16 hours a day, consuming only water. This reduces insulin stimulation and allows the resistance to reduce.
3. Foods containing vitamin C like lemons, goose berries etc
4. Moderate exercise which improves muscle mass.
