A member asked:

My pcos has caused me to become prediabetic. i am currently working out and dieting and loosing 1-3 lbs a week can i reverse prediabetes if i keep up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: yes. The preponderance of evidence suggests that with diet, exercise and resultant weight loss one can reduce progression to overt diabetes by as much as 60% in people with prediabetes.
