Pre-diabetes is a serious health condition in which the sugar level is higher than normal and lower than type 2 diabetes. In simple language, pre-diabetes is like a sign of the last chance to save yourself from diabetes. If sugar is controlled at this stage, type 2 diabetes can be avoided.
In such a situation, food sequencing can prove to be very beneficial. Because with its help you can easily balance the amount of carbohydrates, vegetables, fats and proteins in your diet, which is very important to control sugar. Recently, the trend of food sequencing has increased a lot. In some studies, it has also been found effective in weight control.
What happens in food sequencing
Under this, pulses and vegetables have to be taken first and carbohydrates like rice and roti are eaten later. Due to this, the sugar level in the body remains under control to a great extent. This routine can be beneficial for pre-diabetic people i.e. people at risk of diabetes.
Also beneficial in weight control
Dr. Vijaya Surampudi, an endocrinologist at UCLA Health, says that many studies show that food sequencing also helps in weight control. Dr. Vijaya says, our target should be only high quality food, which we enjoy.
What is the sugar level in pre-diabetes?
According to the Mayo Clinic, in general: less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is diagnosed as prediabetes.
