You’ve just left your primary care visit and learned that your hemoglobin A1c has risen to 5.7% or higher which puts you in the prediabetes range. What does this mean, and what can you do about it? Almost all the clients we see with prediabetes tell us that getting that diagnosis was scary. We like to reframe it as a time to act! Firstly, good for you for getting a yearly exam and bloodwork, you have caught this early! Your next step is to reach out to an RDN (a dietitian). We are uniquely positioned to help you make gradual lifestyle changes that can stop the creep into diabetes. Small changes in your eating pattern and tweaks to movement, sleep and handling stress can make all the difference. Reach out today by filling out a contact form or giving us a call at 937-586-7644.
