Prediabetes : A wake up call



It is a condition where blood sugar is high but not high enough to call it diabetes.

It is associated with slight increase in abdominal fat. It is confirmed by measuring the abdominal circumference.(More than 94 cm in males and 80 cm in females)





There are some signs:
  
increased hunger, 
dry mouth  
frequent urination

It's a wake up call
You can reverse these signs and prevent diabetes

How?

Stop eating out:
This is the best way of reducing calories.

Our life has changed drastically over the last 50 years
Modern lifestyle has so many occasions to eat outside:

Restaurants
Marriages
Get- togethers
Birthday parties
Kitty parties
Ordering food from restaurant
Traveling

The food on these occasions is high in fats, oils, sugar and calories. It is not possible to avoid these occasions.Then the only way out is to select your food items which will have low calories. (Idli, roti, dhal, plain rice, curds,raw salads,vanilla ice cream)




Avoid (strictly) vegetables in these buffets They are oily and creamy 
    

Consider this as an opportunity (not a threat) to improve your lifestyle and prevent diabetes.
