A member asked:
Usually, is the prognosis for impaired fasting glucose better/more reversible at early stages than late stages, like with many other problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are correct: But let's put this in simple and true terms. The mainstay of staving off type II diabetes, given that the person has the genetic tendency, is physical exercise and to a lesser extent healthy eating / staying trim. The sooner a person goes about making this central to their life, the better.
