Three-Pronged Approach to Diabetes Risk Reduction
Three-Pronged Approach to Diabetes Risk Reduction
A strategy to reduce diabetes risk factors by focusing on achieving and maintaining ideal body weight, enhancing cellular insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall well-being.
Ideal Body Weight
Ideal Body Weight
The weight range that is considered healthy for an individual based on their height, age, and other factors. Maintaining ideal body weight helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Insulin Sensitivity
Insulin Sensitivity
The ability of cells to effectively respond to insulin, allowing them to take in and use glucose. Increased insulin sensitivity helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces diabetes risk.
