pre diabeates

Hey guys, It's been a while I haven't posted here and tbh I'm not a very active member, so here is the little background: been diagnosed with pre diabetes and insulin resistance in 2020. My labs were showing high fasting glucose combine with a high fasting insulin ( aka Insulin resistance). I...

Hi all I’ve just been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. There’s a strong, long history of type 2 in my maternal family. I’m joining slimming world - is this a good idea to manage my diet or am I needing a more specific diet please?

hi there i am new to all this. i am 53 and lately had all the classic symptoms of either pre-diabetes or diabetes, i get tired after meals to point i could easily sleep in my dinner! i had a prick finger test by ambulance staff when i had headache with eye haemorraging and was 2hrs after eating...

I don’t know if it’s the good place to write this, maybe it would fit better in an ED forum but let’s so if anyone can help me. So I’m having insulin resistance and pre diabetes but also developed anorexia nervosa 2 years ago. I’m currently relapsing with anorexia and barely eat anything of my...

Diagnosed pre diabetic with a Hba1c of 48, then a 47 following Covid at Christmas. 43 6 months previous. Low carb diet to control things. Weight down from 90 to 78, Hba1c back to 43 aleeady However I must have done some damage as I have toe neuropathy (intermittant pains). Not being...

Hi, Not sure if anyone is able to give me some advice or not to see if I am likely to have pre-diabetes? My family has a history of Type 1, and I recently had a few bloods done at the doctors, including the 3 month glucose, and everything came back normal. I do sometimes feel 'hypo' around...

I want to understand what's the first thing I do. I'm worried I maybe be eating the wrong thing and what is the right thing to eat. Do I now eat like a diabetic does. On the text it advised me that I could develop type 2 diabetes. Now I've recently been diagnosed with vertigo and have...

So yesterday I received a phone call from a nurse at my GP surgery, I was informed I have a Hba1c level of 47 and I am prediabetic; I was given no further information or advice apart from to stop eating sweet and sugary foods but I don’t have a sweet tooth and hardly ever eat things like that...

Hi all, I've come for some advice after a rather unhelpful encounter with my GP. I was diagnosed with GD during my first pregnancy (approx 4 years ago) very late. Ate a 'normal' aka sugary diet after, stopped testing (as advised!) and HbA1c was 38/39. Told this was fine and not to worry. During...

Hi Everyone I'm 39 and recently had a blood test for a cancer scare (luckily all ok there), in the phone call with Dr he said i'm all ok and at the end just said: "oh but you're pre diabetic so be aware of that" "i'm what? What is it? What should i do" "there are online resources for that"...

All, pre-diabetic and possibly now T2; my fastings are coming in over 6.6 mmol (6 months ago) and my last A1b (Im in France so they measure it slightly different) was 56 (which is top end of normal) that was over a year ago. I had a fasting blood glucose done at a lab on Friday and expevcting it...

Hi, I’ve been ‘diagnosed’ with prediabities/ hyperglycaemia however my doctor also suspects that I could be something else entirely and I wanted to ask if anyone has symptoms like me? I’m a female 32, 5.5ft, 8.3 stone. I’ve been suffering from this for over 10 years. I can not eat anything...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed recently I couldn't find a complete answer in my search. I've had GD twice, both times I was given Insulin to control my high morning readings (dawn phenomenon). There was a query if I was actually T2 but following my last pregnancy I was able to...

Hello Last thursday I had my annual health checkup done and on friday my doctor called me and said my sugar levels are rather high (5.7% Hb1Ac). I did some searching online and it seems like in the US (where I am based) the prediabetes levels start from 5.7% to 6.4%. My doctor was not too...

sorry if you think this is a stupid question, I was only diagnosed with type 2 just over a month ago, I’m 23 years old. I’d say for the last 4 weeks my blood sugars in the morning are between a 4.2 and 5.1. It’s usually the same before meals. And after meals it’s usually never above a 7.2...

I am so upset, on my mums side of the family and my friends are very supportive and have been there for me and helping me with my goals....However my dads side of the family is a different story!, bearing in mind that my grandad, nan, dad, aunties and uncles all on that side are type 2...

Hi everyone so I am newly diagnosed t2, my main goal is to of course get my bg to normal range and lose weight, I am currently doing slimming world which is working very well for me, In 4 weeks I have lost 9.5 pounds which I am very pleased with. I know slimming world can be a very high carb...

like any other diet do any of you have that ‘cheat meal’ or some chocolate or crisps now and then? It’s my friends birthday next week and we are going for pizza at Pizza Hut, and I know I won’t be able to just have a slice or two, I want to enjoy it at the same time and it’s not something I...

So I had my second blood test today to confirm if I have diabetes or not....I mentioned in my first post I was told my number was 8.4, which was my hba1c result I think converted the new way it’s 68mmol/mol....so I am very nervous now they said they should get my results back tomorrow. I have...

So I have my second blood test tomorrow to see if I have diabetes as my doctor thinks I may have it.....however my first blood test was to check something to do with my periods and it was a non fasting blood test...so when the doctor said I need to book in for another one he didn’t say if it...
