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

[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1602041, member: 438800"] [USER=114214]@gardengnome42[/USER] good that you are taking the situation in hand. You mentioned the "really scary" factor that it is a "progressive disease." Even though I have no specialist medical knowledge, I am now convinced this is not always the case. Or at the very least, that some people can slow down the progression so much that it would have negligible effect on lifespan or quality of lie. In strict scientific terms, it seems that "nobody knows." There is a mountain of evidence that it is progressive, and doctors, from their daily experience of treating people with diabetes who steadily get worse, understandably consider it to be progressive! I was scared witless, at diagnosis, by the "progressive" label attached to the disease. For days, I was convinced I would never see my (future) grandchildren grow up. Nine months later, I am still symptom-free and there are no signs of any diabetes complications, and because my BGs are under control at non-diabetic levels, there is close to zero risk of complications. Anecdotally, hundreds, nay thousands of people are having the same experience. There isn't much hard science, but lots and lots of people on this forum are living evidence that it seems to work.
