Will I Definitely Get Type 2 Diabetes?
Being told you're pre-diabetic can feel like a countdown has quietly started — but does a raised blood sugar reading actually mean type 2 diabetes is on its way? In this episode of Nourished & Found, Frances Norgate answers the question most people are too frightened to ask their GP, and gives the honest version rather than the reassuring one. We look at what a pre-diabetes result really tells you, why it isn't a fixed outcome, what the largest prevention study actually found about food and movement, and a few small, doable places to start — all alongside your existing medical care, never instead of it.
In this episode:
Why a raised reading is an early flag rather than a forecast — and why a good number of people never progress at all, while others see their numbers ease back over time
What the largest prevention study found: structured changes to how you eat and move cut the rate of progression by more than half, and did better than the medication arm of the same trial
The smallest places to start — meal order, a short walk after eating, sleep and stress — framed around adding and rearranging rather than stripping away
