    Welcome to MFP!

    I'm 51, and pre-diabetic. At my last physical, my doctor really got on me about weight. My blood pressure was up as well.

    Anyway, this is a good place to come for support and advice. Most of the folks are really helpful.

    Again, welcome! You can do this!

    I am 54 and a diagnosis if pre-diabetes in January is what brought me here to MFP. Since then I've lost 64 lbs and am no longer pre-diabetic! Add me if you like. Remember, you are in charge! You CAN do this! Good luck!

    HELLO MY NAME IS BLANCA, AND YOUR POST CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, I AM 22 YEARS OLD AND DIABETES RUNS IN BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY. I AM A DIABETIC MYSELF AND I AM TRYING AS HARD AS I CAN TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND IT IS TOUGH. I KNOW ALOT ABOUT IT SINCE ALOT OF THE MEMBERS IN MY FAMILY HAVE HAD IT FOR YEARS. I HOPE TO ONE DAY NOT HAVE IT, BUT FOR NOW I NEED TO BE STRONG AND TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS. IF YOU NEED ANY ADVICE OR HAVE AQUESTION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. :)
