prediabetes

During last year, my fasting blood glucose was getting higher and higher, sometimes above 115 mg/dL. Months before, I went to the lab and it was 97 mg/dL. I have a solid family history of mild to severe Type 2 and had a grand grand mother with Type 1. Hence, since last December I've decided to...

Hello, I'm a 23 year old male with a BMI of 18.9 kg/m^2. Please have a look at the table I made: I had a terrible diet back in February 2019. My BMI was 25.5 kg/m^2. Realising that something was going wrong, I decided to take action and stopped consuming any type of refined sugar. I also cut...

Hello, Recently I was told I have pre-diabetes at age 32. My fasting blood glucose was 5.9, Hba1c 35. I have been monitoring my blood sugar at home and fasting is always around the 5.5 mark, however my post meal numbers are always much lower. This morning my fasting reading was 5.7, I had...

Hi I first started noticing blurry vision early last summer. Initially I put it down to the air conditioning where I worked. Then late Summer, during a lull at work, I went to see my gp. I was sent for a blood test and was diagnosed as pre diabetic. This came as quite a shock, although being of...

Hi, I am a lean prediabetic (BMI = 20,2), my exams show no insulin resistance (HOMA-IR = 1.00) but they do suggest beta cell dysfunction (HOMA-Beta = 44.26). I am not taking medication now, my doctor said we should first try to get it all under control with lifestyle changes. I am going to the...

Hi, I was diagnosed with borderline diabetes 2 years ago. It runs in my family but no one is overweight. My main issue is gaining weight without consuming anything that’s bad for me. Basically, I’ve been trying to find a list of specific foods I can eat that will help me gain fat but not contain...

I was diagnosed as prediabetic a while ago and although I have always exercised and I am only slightly overweight I have mostly disregarded the advise regarding carb reduction and consequently seen my reading progressively getting worse over time. My main issue is fasting sugar levels which have...

But am delighted that my recent Hba1c reading has gone down from 48 to 43 after following a Keto diet since my prediabetes diagnosis in May. I have also lost 3 kilos. When my new GP told me, I said 'That's great!' and he said in a very dour manner 'You're still prediabetic, don't get...

Hi all, I’m seeing a doctor before work tomorrow but it’s unlikely I’ll be able to have blood drawn for testing until next week. (I may take matters into my own hands and buy a kit from a chemist.) I feel convinced that I have diabetes setting in. My symptoms are (quite drastic) peripheral...

I was diagnosed with pre diabetes in January (HBaC1 was 44).Apparently it has been creeping up for years but no one ever told me. I have a lot of weight to lose but took it as a wake up call and have lost over a stone since then, cut out basic white carbs ( bread pasta potatoes rice) been doing...

I had my diagnosis of T2 diabetes and raised cholesterol over the phone three weeks ago. I was a bit confused about whether the diagnosis was T2 or pre-diabetes, and I wasn't given any numbers at that stage, just told I needed to take statins and cut carbs for three months to see if I could...

Hi 3 months ago I was told I had prediatbetes. A number of 44 was supplied. I cut down on sugar and I’m creased activity. I was then told I had diabetes with a number of 48. Since then I have stopped sugar, as much as possible in this world of sugar in everything, greatly increased activity...

I had the results of an osmolality blood test today which showed I am prediabetic. My concern is that I have a number of health issues including spondylarthritis and fibromyalgia. I can only exercise in moderation as too much causes a flare up of pain and fatigue. Does anyone else have...

Hello. I am new to this. I am a 20 year old female. I weigh around 53 kg and measure around 1.62 meters. Let me just start by saying that I am a hypochondriac. And a bad one. I have been under extreme stress since September of 2018, in and out of hospitals to get all kinds of tests done. In...

Hi, I am a 30 year old, 78 kgs, slightly over weight with belly. I used to do regular checkups, as my job requires regular medical tests. I did one of my test in June 2018, random blood sugar was 4.88 (I remember taking the test 3 hours after eating). Then I did a test a month later in July...

Hi Folks, Well, I'm about 7 months on from my initial diagnosis of pre-diabetes (at the 43 mark) noted on an Hba1c test taken because I was having episodes of feeling faint and spaced out (usually when out and about, shopping) - and also mornings when I was struggling to get going, with just no...

Hi guys, I used to have some hypoglycemia during my workout being keto (I'm prediabetic not type 2 or type 1). Do you know if I should take some carbs pre-workout or if this is gonna make it worst? Thanks for your help.

Hey, everyone. I am a self-diagnosed prediabetic, my HB1AC levels were borderline the last time I had the test. Basically, I went to my doctor and told him about my concerns. First of all, he said it's unlikely that I have diabetes because of my age, even pre-diabetes, but my last HB1AC test, I...
