Prediabetic on a Mission!

Hello there! The doctor confirmed yesterday what I already knew. I am borderline diabetic and it's Go Time! I am on a mission to get my healthy/sexy back before it's too late. Friends with the same mission?

    I'm right there with you! I'm just barely over the cut off for prediabetes. So, I am trying to get back to healthy before I go too far to the other end. Good luck to you!

    I was just diagnosed as prediabetic last week. I got back on here and have been really making an effort to change my way of eating. I'm a little upset that after 10 days my first thing in the morning results are still between 121-127. I would have thought by now they would have gone down. I'm looking for all the support I can get so please feel free to add me. It takes a village and we all need help.

    I used to be in the pre-diabetic boat too (see my profile for full story). OP, I suggest you check out the main low carber daily forum group here in MFP:

    Depending on your current numbers, you can beat this fairly quickly by losing a few pounds and adding exercise. I turned things around in just a few months and I weighed 300 pounds and was horribly unfit. My morning results are still on the high end although my A1C is great, that's just how my body works. Doc was never concerned about that by itself. They look at the long term A1c number mostly. You totally can do this!
