Hi everyone. I just joined MyFitnessPal to start living a healthier life. This year I will turn 60, and my physician told me I’m pre-diabetic and needed to lose weight and eat better. I’ve done some reach and found that with some nutritional control and some exercise I can have a normal A1c and stay off of diabetic medication. I plan on retiring in 5 more years, travel and enjoy the rest of my life with my wife and daughter.

    Welcome! You definitely can control your diabetes with diet and exercise. Have you done the guided set-up on this site ad gotten a calorie target yet?
