Traditional advice says you must lose weight to stop prediabetes, which is hard and discouraging for many. Focus on where fat is, not how much. Swap "belly fat" for "under-skin fat" by eating Mediterranean foods (nuts, fish, olive oil) and doing endurance exercise. This boosts natural hormones like GLP-1 to fix blood sugar. You can reverse prediabetes without the scale moving! It shifts the goal from "getting thin" to "getting healthy."
