in Introduce Yourself
I'm 52 years old, was told by my doctor that I'm prediabetic. I need to get healthier, I've started running again (doing the Galloway run-walk method).
I'm looking to lose about 50 lbs. I now have three granddaughters and want to spend lots of time with them.
BTW - I'm in Calgary

    Welcome!
    My running days are probably over, but I’m a big fan of the run/walk method.
    Your granddaughter is adorable! Enjoy those grandchildren.
    Good luck on your journey!

    I'll be 51 in 4 weeks. I'm 190 lbs. Last month I scheduled myself a physical exam because it's been 4 years since I been to my pcp so I thought it's time to get back on schedule. We'll I'm glad I did because just last week my labs come back saying I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is high. **until I get in to the nutritionist, I'd like to know what my daily sugar macro should be so i can set it here in my daily value. My pcp made referral to a nutrition counselor at my hospital bariatric weight loss clinic. So just waiting for a call from them. All I know of my A1c is 5.9%. Not sure where to start.
