Pre-diabetes includes impaired fasting blood glucose (i.e. fasting blood glucose is at 6.1~6.9mmol/L), abnormal glucose tolerance (i.e. blood glucose two hours after meal is at 7.8~11.0mmol/L), at this time, through dietary control, appropriate exercise, etc., it is possible to return to the normal blood glucose level. Dietary control includes maintaining a low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat diet, controlling total calorie intake, and eating small, frequent meals.
