Reversing prediabetes slashes heart risk by over half, study finds
Good news if you're keeping an eye on your health: a new study from King's College London found that people who reversed their prediabetes cut their risk of dying from heart disease or being hospitalized for heart failure by 58%.
Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not quite diabetes—yet it still raises your chances of serious heart problems.
Why it matters and what you can do
Researchers say the benefits go beyond just lowering immediate risk—it helps protect your heart in the long run.
While eating better, moving more, and losing weight all help, experts suggest combining these healthy habits with medical advice.
For some high-risk folks, medication like metformin might be recommended too.
The big takeaway? Catching and tackling prediabetes early can make a real difference for your future health.
