Can impaired fasting glucose be cured? if not how to stop it from developing type 2 diabetes

Diet, weight loss: Impaired fasting glucose is a warning sign that you are at risk of diabetes. Typically, being overweight or eating a high carb diet can exacerbate this problem. If there is a family history of diabetes, that also increases your risk. Weight control is essential, and you should minimize carbs and sugars like soda, alcohol, bread, pasta, rice, and desserts. Regular exercise is also beneficial.

Diabetes ?: Without numbers, hard to answer. Depending on the level of impairment you may have diabetes. If you have not, i would consult a doctor. The "big 3" for good blood sugar control: maintain normal weight follow a diabetic or carb restricted diet get regular exercise.
