Below is an extract of an article I read in a journal.I think it gives some answers to your query.

Two ways to dodge diabetes

Given the epidemic of diabetes sweeping the United States and many other countries, it can seem as though developing diabetes is inevitable. Not so. A landmark clinical trial called the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) showed that a healthy diet and regular exercise can prevent type 2 diabetes. This three year study found that people who lose 5% to 7% of their weight and exercise about 30 minutes a day can reduce diabetes risk by more than half.

The Look AHEAD study also showed that losing weight and exercising can be a powerful way to fend off diabetes. The trial compared lifestyle changes (portion-controlled diets with prepared meals and moderate-intensity exercise for at least 175 minutes a week) with simple diabetes education. After one year, people in the lifestyle group had lost an average of 8.6% of their body weight, compared with 0.7% in diabetes education group. With the combination of weight loss and exercise came improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and HDL (good) cholesterol. Later follow-up showed that these improvements extended over the first four years of the study.

What’s more, the lifestyle changes also improved quality of life, based on questionnaires designed to assess the Look AHEAD participants’ physical and mental health. The greatest gains were physical changes — for example, compared with the control group, people in the lifestyle group were more fit, felt more vital, and had less body pain. They also reported feeling less depressed.

Losing weight and exercising are simple ways to avoid diabetes. But they can be hard to do. If you’re ready to make some changes to avoid the life-long consequences of diabetes, talk with your doctor. Together you can create a manageable plan that increases your chances of success.

Classical Ayurveda can also help. Ayurveda addresses the emerging diabetes with an integrated approach of personalised diet-lifestyle-medicine-cleansing therapies. This results in improving/regularising metabolism, by reducing emerging insulin resistance, reducing weight, reducing stress, reducing hypertension, improving sleep, reducing associated symptoms of diabetes. However, let me warn not take recourse to off the shelf Ayurveda products that claim to bring diabetes under control. This could have unintended detrimental effects. You have to consult a good Ayurveda physician first who will prescribe the right program and medicines for you. You can visit ayurvaid.com or write to goodhealth@ayurvaid.com for more details.

There is no stage called pre-diabetic. If you develop insulin regulated metabolic disorder you develop diabetics. Normally stress induced diabetic conditions like pregnancy and others are indications for future diabetic development. This disorder is a permanent one. You have to manage this with your life style like food habit, physical works such as exercises and brisk walking and if necessary drug. You need not worry for this it is hundred percent manageable.
