Impaired fasting glucose: Everything you need to know

Impaired fasting glucose or prediabetes, as it is also called, can seem like a scary diagnosis. There is both bad and good news about it. Having impaired fasting glucose means that your glucose levels are elevated above the limits of what they should be when you are fasting. The bad news is that you may be heading towards type-2 diabetes; the good news, however, it is completely reversible through lifestyle changes! Glucose enters your bloodstream through the intestines after the digestion and absorption of food or drinks. The blood carries glucose around to all the tissues of the body, such as the muscles, where it is used for energy. The hormone insulin regulates how much of this glucose stays in the blood and ensures that it doesn’t go too high.
