When a person's blood sugar level is high enough, maybe he has developed diabetes precursor condition known as prediabetes. Prediabetes will develop into diabetes if not managed properly.
You can prevent the development of diabetes by lowering the risk of prediabetes is by increasing consumption of whole grains.
According to the research in Sweden, people who eat a diet that consists of 59 grams or 2 ounces of whole grains per day can reduce the risk of pre-diabetes by up to 27 percent lower than those who ate whole grains less than 30 grams per day.
"It's important to anticipate prediabetes as more and more people today the diagnosis of diabetes," said Tina Wirstrom, one of the researchers from the Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden,
American Diabetes Association has even been estimated that one in four Americans who were older than 20 years began floating the prediabetes condition. Nearly a quarter of people with prediabetes finally can actually develop diabetes.
Previous studies have linked the consumption of wheat with a reduced risk of diabetes, but new studies are now focused precursor to prevent the development of diabetes disease. Whole foods made from whole grains such as oatmeal, corn, brown rice, and wheat may provide protection against diabetes precursor.

The latest research involved 5477 Stockholm residents who are in the age range 35-56 years and not known to have diabetes. The participants were asked to fill out a diary and write down how much consumption of whole grains in their diet daily.
After 10 years of study, researchers measured the levels of glucose in the blood of each participant. The study results showed that overall, one of 13 patients developed prediabetes, while one of the 33 participants were diagnosed with diabetes.
When the researchers examined the diaries of each participant, the researchers found that participants who ate whole grains more than 59 grams per day was associated with a reduced risk of pre-diabetes by 27 percent compared to those who ate whole grains less than that amount.
"This seems to be the most influential men and people who have a genetic risk of the family who developed diabetes," the researchers said.
The results of research are then published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition online edition of December 12, as reported by Reuters on Friday (21/12/2012).
A Dutch study led by Dr. Coen Stehouwer, Maastricht University Medical Center found that people with prediabetes should lose weight quickly to restore blood sugar levels to normal levels in order not to develop into diabetes.
