You forgot the strategy that should be number 1 or 2: Change to plant- based nutrition, or at least the Mediterranean diet. Tons of evidence it can prevent, even reverse, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and more. Besides saving the planet. We made the switch 50 years ago. Both 90 and active now. No pills. No supplements. Daily walks. Resistance training 3 times a week.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Congratulations on your fantastic health. When it comes to evidence there’s definitely tons of evidence on any side of any argument anyone makes. That’s the nature of evidence, it’s piecemeal data and only collectively does it give us a clue. I’ve had amazing results with patients who have switched to plant-based or MD but for most adults in prediabetes they really need an individualized approach because their insulin resistance might be stemming from too much visceral fat, too much cortisol, very high insulin, etc … none of which would be immediately fixable with a plant-based or MD alone.
