Pre diabetes and calcium score

Got 550 coronary calcium score plus diagnosed with prediabetes.
Do I need to live a Spartan existence for the rest of my life?in order to reverse this?

  1. Hi there - While pre-diabetes is a warning sign that you may develop diabetes in the future, it's not a guarantee you will get diabetes. If you're able to make some lifestyle changes, it is possible to change course. Here's a link to some suggestions: https://type2diabetes.com/living/small-lifestyle-changes. I also encourage you to consider meeting with a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) to learn more about the factors in your life that you can control and prevent diabetes. Here's a link: https://type2diabetes.com/living/certified-diabetes-educator-registered-dietitian. I hope this helps you get on the right track. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help! - Cody (Team Member)
