What is diabetes

Prediabetes (also known as impaired fasting glucose) is a condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.

There are several benefits to following a healthy diet, one importantly being it can help better manage and maintain blood sugar levels within your target range.

Foods that contain carbohydrates such as fruits, pasta, bread, and starchy vegetables, get broken down into glucose for your body to use as energy, but also have the greatest impact on your blood sugar levels.

You’ve likely heard the old adage – breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

While you can’t change your genes, you can make some simple positive behavioral and lifestyle changes that can help you better manage your diabetes and avoid complications.

There are three main types of carbohydrates (carbs) in food — starches, sugars, and fiber — and each one affects your blood sugar levels differently.
