I did a search for a pre-diabetes group and came up empty, so I decided to make one! If you find you are in this particular boat and want to have a group to support you, please feel free to join!

Hi I'm glad you started this group! My doc took me off my Metformin due to side effects. I am determined to get my blood sugar under control with diet, so I won't have to start another drug! So far its working.

One week in to this "prediabetic" lifestyle. I refuse to go into medication without giving it my ALL to control this myself. I begin diabetic education tomorrow evening and have made so many drastic changes to my diet already. Thank you SO much for creating this group! I have until Dec. 21/17 to lower my levels.1

What is your strategy? Do you avoid certain foods? Track your grams of sugars per day? I would love to know what is working for you!0 -

That is awesome! I am looking into a class I can attend as well. My doc gave me the challenge of losing 15% of my body weight before I can be off the meds. I am SO determined to do it. My goal is by January 5th, which will be about 20 weeks total.
Anything you want to share about your class experience would be greatly appreciated!1 -
This is a really inspiring group - look forward to getting to know everyone. I already feel more motivated!1

Hi everyone. Just recently started tracking again. Technically my A1C puts me in diabetic range (6.6) but I fully intend to get it back down. I was "trying" to manage with diet and exercise for 3 months but also dealing with family stress and mental health so that was unsuccessful. So now I'm tracking, started metformin yesterday and I figured I would reach out for more support.1
