in Success Stories
I'm not sure if this counts as a success story as I still have a looooong way to go.... but - I just had blood results back and I'm no longer pre-diabetic! Still got a lot of work to do, and the fasting glucose is still at the high end of normal, but - back in the safe zone after losing just 20 pounds!

    Congrats! That is so important for your health. My mom just got put on insulin injections for her type 2 and I know I never want to be there! It does not look like fun.

    That is great and definitely a success! Diabetes can have a terrible effect on your body (I've seen it with my father), so anything you can do to stave it off is a win.

    My Doctor told me I was pre-diabetes back in March. I go Thrusday to see if I've beaten it. I hope I have good news as well...

    Congrats! My doc told me I was pre-diabetic too and my cholesterol levels are too high and wanted to put me on Lipitor. I told the doc no, I am going to manage with diet and exercise.

    Congrats to you!! You're lucky. Some of us are stuck in "pre-diabetic" mode. (My maternal grandmother suffered from high blood sugars, never got diabetes but died of a stroke at 70 - so diabetes is just one bad thing that high blood sugar can do). My father is diabetic, my older brother is diabetic. Going Primal/Paleo got rid of the blood sugar crashes and the shakes and intense hunger that came with them but the damage in me isn't reversible (thanks ancestry!!!)

    Keep up with it. I don't want anyone to go through what I'm seeing my dad go through (and where my brother is headed since his doctor is a quack!! C'mon a high-carb diet for a diabetic??!!)

    That is totally a success!!! Good for you! It's not just about the pounds. I think just overall being healthier is so much more important!

    Very nice! I'm in the same boat, and am hoping to jump out of it some in the near future. Keep it up!
