Can Exercise Reverse Prediabetes? Here’s What the Science Says

Prediabetes is a silent warning sign that your body’s sugar control system is slipping. But can exercise stop—or even reverse—it? This video breaks down what the latest research shows: a 2019 meta-analysis found exercise improved glucose tolerance by about 6%, but results were inconsistent. By 2023, new studies showed that aerobic workouts 3–4 times per week significantly lowered blood sugar, A1C, and BMI. And when cardio and strength training were combined, fasting glucose dropped nearly 5% more than cardio alone. Learn how mixing workouts (and pairing them with a plant-forward diet) can help keep prediabetes from progressing to type 2 diabetes.
