[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 582228, member: 48386"] I got my first diagnosis of prediabetes when I quit smoking the first time (1991) and gained around 20 kgs - the GP didn't really make any big deal over it and when I went back to smoking and lost the weight, my BG returned to normal. There was never any problem until I quit smoking again in 2004 and again gained 20kgs and was diagnosed as prediabetic again. I guess it was a case of third time lucky - the same thing happened again after I quit in 2010, gained weight again and was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2012. Despite losing the weight again this time, no luck in getting back to normal BG. Since menopause I'm also a typical apple shape. Despite losing weight, I can't seem to get my waistline below the recommended 80cms so that probably hasn't helped matters. So my advice to anyone diagnosed is to get your weight under control and then keep it under control - yoyo dieting is definitely not a good thing for insulin resistance. [/QUOTE]
