Does prediabetes cause weight gain?
I was recently told I have prediabetes, and I've noticed some weight gain lately. Is it possible that prediabetes itself causes weight gain, or is it unrelated?

Prediabetes and insulin resistance can make weight loss harder and cause easy weight gain. Plan your meals ahead and cut down on desk snacks to manage it.

I deal with insulin issues due to PCOS and yes, it often leads to belly fat. But with a low-glycemic diet, we can manage it slowly and safely.

Don't just blame weight gain on prediabetes based on online articles. Go get your fasting insulin and HbA1c tested at a proper lab to know the real cause.

Yes, insulin resistance makes your body store fat easily. Try incorporating a 30-minute brisk walk after your largest meal to improve your insulin levels.
