Stanford Dietitian and Primary Care Doctor Discuss Living Better with Prediabetes

A third of U.S. adults have prediabetes, a condition where there are early signs that diabetes is developing. The leading causes of prediabetes are excess weight, lack of physical activity, and a diet too high in simple carbohydrates (like starches and sugars). Prediabetes is most often reversible and should be a call to action for changes in lifestyle that can keep diabetes from developing. Clinical dietitian Leah Groppo and primary care doctor Randall Stafford share specific strategies that can help us overcome the challenges we face in changing patterns of physical activity, diet, stress management, and sleep.
