Prediabetes
I've been hovering on the edge of prediabetes for almost 5 years and now it's finally happened.

[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1601643, member: 114214"] I've read stuff from the phlaunt site before and had forgotten how good she was. Thank you for reminding me, Son in laws father is now 78 so no spring chicken. The men in his family all seem to develop T2 at some stage and none of them are fat. His younger brother died last year of diabetes complications - not sure what as I didn't know him and didn't like to ask but I know he rarely moved out of his armchair. The father in law is a different type all together and far more intelligent and careful. He is only just in the range as far as I know but I bet is the type who would believe what the NHS says without question. Why are so many men like that and WHY does the NHS insist on sticking with the high carb diet. I'm 75 myself and because I have high blood pressure and arthritis I was determined not to be compromised like my grandmother was back in the 1950's with similar problems. I only found out the HbA1c reading of 41 five years ago when I went online to get my medical notes and results of a health check. No one had mentioned it at all, all they were concerned with was filling me with blood pressure tablets. How long had it been hovering around that level I wonder. Interestingly my 86yr old husband has low blood pressure and his HbA1c last time it was done was in the mid 30's. Life isn't fair! [/QUOTE]
