Prediabetes can be reversed within 2 years: The quiet metabolic changes your body makes when you stay consistent

Prediabetes has become an increasingly important area of focus in public health, largely because it sits at a crossroads between normal metabolic function and type 2 diabetes. It is defined by raised blood glucose levels that fall short of the diagnostic threshold for diabetes, yet indicate a shift in how the body processes sugar. This stage often develops quietly, particularly in urban populations where dietary habits, long work hours and reduced movement are common. Although the condition signals an elevated risk, emerging evidence shows that it remains a phase in which the body can still respond positively to sustained lifestyle improvements. Understanding how reversal occurs and why it often takes around two years helps clarify both the biological process and the practical steps that
