前驅(qū)糖尿病能治好嗎

Prediabetes is a condition in which a person's blood sugar is higher than normal. It is often a precursor of type 2 diabetes and increases the risk of a number of health problems including heart disease and stroke. About one in three American adults, or 88 million people, have prediabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most people don't experience symptoms of prediabetes so the condition often goes undetected until more serious issues like type 2 diabetes arise.

前驅(qū)糖尿病是指一個(gè)人的血糖高于正常水平。它通常是2型糖尿病的先兆，會(huì)增加一些健康問題的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，包括心臟病和中風(fēng)。根據(jù)美國(guó)疾病控制與預(yù)防中心(CDC)的數(shù)據(jù)，大約三分之一的美國(guó)成年人，即8800萬人，患有前驅(qū)糖尿病。大多數(shù)人并沒有前驅(qū)糖尿病的癥狀，所以糖尿病前期的癥狀通常不會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，直到出現(xiàn)更嚴(yán)重的問題，如2型糖尿病。

While the condition may sound scary, the good news is that it is possible to reverse prediabetes naturally through lifestyle changes (via Medical News Today). One of the first steps to take is to lose weight. Even a modest amount of weight loss can make a big difference. According to the CDC, losing just 5 to 7% of your body weight reduces your risk of health complications from prediabetes. For a 200-pound person that means losing 10 to 14 pounds.

雖然這種情況聽起來很可怕，但好消息是，通過生活方式的改變，自然逆轉(zhuǎn)前驅(qū)糖尿病是有可能的。首先要做的事情之一就是減肥。即使是少量的減肥也能產(chǎn)生很大的影響。根據(jù)美國(guó)疾病控制與預(yù)防中心的說法，體重減少5%到7%，可以降低患糖尿病前期并發(fā)癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。對(duì)于一個(gè)200磅的人來說，這意味著要減掉10到14磅。

In addition to weight loss, there are a number of other lifestyle changes that can help reverse prediabetes. Getting regular physical activity is extremely important (via Mayo Clinic). You should aim to exercise for 150 minutes per week or 30 minutes per day. Maintain a healthy diet, focusing on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Smoking increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, so if you use tobacco it's important to quit. Limiting alcohol intake and managing stress will also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

除了減肥，還有一些生活方式的改變可以幫助逆轉(zhuǎn)前驅(qū)糖尿病。有規(guī)律的體育鍛煉是非常重要的。你的目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是每周鍛煉150分鐘或每天鍛煉30分鐘。保持健康的飲食，多吃水果、蔬菜和全谷物。吸煙會(huì)增加患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，所以如果你吸煙，戒煙是很重要的。限制酒精攝入量和控制壓力也會(huì)降低患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

It's also important to manage other health-related disorders like high cholesterol and high blood pressure (via Cleveland Clinic). If your doctor has prescribed you medications to treat these conditions, make sure you take them as directed. If you're high risk, your doctor may also prescribe a drug like metformin, a diabetes medication, to treat prediabetes.

管理其他健康相關(guān)的疾病，如高膽固醇和高血壓也很重要。如果你的醫(yī)生給你開了治療這些病癥的藥物，一定要按醫(yī)囑服用。如果你是高危人群，你的醫(yī)生可能會(huì)給你開一些藥物，比如二甲雙胍，一種治療糖尿病的藥物，來治療前驅(qū)糖尿病。
