Oprah Winfrey is one of the highly motivated celebs who is known to inspire others like anything. The actress has been quite open about her depression struggles and her weight loss issues as well.
On the eve of Global Wellness Day, the lady shared:
her pre-diabetic weight loss struggles. She started by saying
“I haven’t shared with many, but I will share with you, that I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes before WW,”
Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than the normal but not high enough that it will show type 2 diabetes on the scale. Some 84 million people globally suffer from this whereas 90% of them don’t even know about this disease.
Those with prediabetes have no clear symptoms other than intense thirst. In case the same is left untreated then within a very short span of time let’s say five years you might get full-blown diabetes. The condition can be improved by some lifestyle changes like reducing sugar, cutting down smoking, losing weight, exercising, eating healthy, etc.
