You've tried everything. Eaten less, exercised more, counted calories. But the weight won't budge. What if the problem was never your lack of willpower — but a fuel switch that got stuck?

Prediabetes
Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet high enough for a diabetes diagnosis—typically HbA1c between 5.7-6.4% (39-47 mmol/mol) or fasting glucose 5.6-6.9 mmol/L (100-125 mg/dL). It's a warning sign that insulin resistance is already causing problems, often years before official diabetes diagnosis. The good news? Studies show that 90-95% of people with prediabetes can return to normal blood sugar levels by reducing carbohydrates—but only about 5% achieve this with standard 'eat less, move more' advice.
