Do You Actually Need Medication for Prediabetes?

Описание: If you’ve been told you have prediabetes, it can feel like a warning — or even a failure.
A lot of people immediately think, “Am I definitely getting diabetes?” or “Do I need medication forever?”

Let’s slow this down.

In this video, I walk through how clinicians actually think about prediabetes — what it really means, when medication is considered, and why lifestyle and medication aren’t opposing sides.

Prediabetes isn’t about identity.
It’s about trajectory.

We’ll cover:
• What prediabetes actually means physiologically
• When medication (like metformin) enters the conversation
• Why starting medication doesn’t automatically mean lifelong use
• How risk factors and trends matter more than a single number
• The right questions to ask your clinician

Good medicine isn’t reactive. It’s thoughtful.
And decisions about treatment should be based on risk, trend, and what’s realistic for your life.

If you’re having this conversation with your doctor, you’re already doing the right thing.

Future videos will go deeper into:
– Lifestyle strategies that actually work
– When medication makes sense
– How we evaluate long-term metabolic health

This channel is about health empowerment — understanding your body clearly so decisions feel less scary and more informed.
