Kicking pre-diabetes

Way to go, I am on that journey myself. I am down 14 lbs and working to keep it going. I have a long long path yet to go.0

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!
Awesome work! That's what I am trying to get to as well.0 -
Oh, that's a wonderful start !
A similar thing happened to me ...... classic case of denial, of course ....... in spite of my doctor's warnings, I let myself get to a point where I needed diabetic meds ...... was so shocked that I immediately made small changes in food & cooking methods ...... I knew abrupt changes would never last ....... then I began walking around the neighborhood ....... eventually bought a treadmill & actually used it LOL After losing 25# the doc took me off the meds ....... (but my health insurance company still labels me a diabetic)
For the past 2 years I've maintained a 40+ lb loss ...... fast food places are a thing of the past ....... I go to the gym 5-6 days a week for cardio, weights and yoga ...... my husband also lost some weight ....... when we dine out, I always have a huge salad with a protein and double veggies, no starch ....... it's an easily-managed lifestyle .....
But a woman's (or man's) work is never done when it comes to health ...... my new doctor is encouraging me to lose an additional 10-15# ...... plus really amp up the cardio ....... and I'm game !
Best of luck on your journey ..... one meal at a time, one step at a time !0 -

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...
My fingers are crossed for you! Good luck!0 -
