Why Monitoring Matters More Than You Think
Ty primary goal of monitoring is not to fixate on a specic number, but to understand the story your blood sugar is telling you.

The Core Tools of Prediabetetes Management
There are seteral methods to o measure your blood sugar, each offering a slightly different piece of thee puzzle. Understanding thee conditions and limitations of each tool is essential for building an effective monitoring strategy.
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
FLT: 0; FLT: 0; FLT: 3; What it is: FL1; FLT: 1; FL1; FL1; A blood tett taken after an overnight fast of at leatt 8 hours. It measures your blood sugar at a single point in time when no food is influencing thee levels.

Tracking the Full Metabolic Pictura
Blood sugar does not exitt in a vacuum. Prediabetes is often a compatient of a larger cluster of conditions known as metabolic syndrome. To truly track your progress, you mutt monitor the related marker of cardiometabolic health.
Váha a d Waitt Circumference
Excess body fat, especially around the midsection (visceral fat), is a primary contrar of insulin resistance. Even a modet heaft loss of 5% to 7% of your starting body heaft can reduce your risk of progressing to type 2 distestetes by a diflant margin. Track your waitt circumference: a goal of less than 40 inches for men and less than 35 inches for femeen foween is asated with lower risk. Wiigt loss is the singlmoss powerful non- penterican interventior for reversing premitetetet.
Blood Pressure
Hypertension and insulin resistance are tightly linked. High insulin levels promote sodium retention and stimulate thee sympathetic nervos system, both of which raise blood pressure. A healthy blood pressure court for mogt people with prediabetes is less than 130 / 80 mm Hg. Home blood pressure monitor are profrendable and prove data free from credition; white coat syndrome.
