[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 637807, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome. What a shock after you have done all that work to control cholesterol and lose weight (great weight loss by the way) Yes, there is plenty you can do and it isn't a foregone conclusion that you will cross the line to diabetic. Many don't. However, you do have more work to do I'm afraid because diet is the key. Look on this as an early warning - you are lucky it has been caught now. Forget sugar - although it is to be avoided, but carbs are also the demons. Have a good look at your current diet and see where this problem is coming from. Too many sugary food/drinks? Too many carbohydrates? Most newly diagnosed have no idea that carbs turn to sugar once in the system. I know I didn't. The worst culprits are cereals, bread, rice, pasta and potatoes (whether white or brown) so maybe you are eating too many of these? Ask as many questions as you like and keep posting. You will find a lot of support and friendly advice. [/QUOTE]
