While diabetes cannot be cured, prediabetes can indeed be reversed, so it is critical to implement lifestyle changes at an early stage. In straightforward, jargon-free language, The Prediabetes Diet Plan explains prediabetes's underlying cause of insulin resistance and offers a comprehensive diet strategy based on Hillary Wright's two decades of experience counseling clients on diet and lifestyle change.
