A member asked:

What are the best actions i can take to control borderline diabetis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lose weight: Lose 500 calories a day and you lose a pound in a week. You can loose additional weight by also exercising. When you lose weight by diet and exercise you decrease insulin resistance and that brings the blood sugar down.
