prediabetic

Hi, I’m 59 years old and have been informed that I am prediabetic which has come as a surprise. I am a ‘good’ weight with a healthy BMI of 21.9. I eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg, fish and occasional meat. However, I do eat far too much fruit so cutting that down, and I do...

Hi all, On a recent visit to the doctors I have once again been told that I am pre-diabetic. I am eager to reverse this as I am on no medications (diet changes only). The reason I went to the doctors was for a full blood test as I was feeling lightheaded and sometimes dizzy. I recently...

Hi There, I had a recent HBa1c test and was shocked to find that my blood sugar levels had gone up to 45. The last time I was tested was pre lockdown and it was 38 back in Oct 2019. I put the figure into the HbA1c Units Converter- DCCT to IFCC and was surprised to read that it said my blood...

Hello! I am popping on here to share support to you all and to say thank you! My name is Natasha I am 45 years old 5 foot 11 and 77kg and live in the UK and work as a music photographer. Last year I had the most awful summer with debilitating pain in my side for months! I tried several times...

Good Morning All I have been pre-diabetic for around 3 years but my last HBA1C was 50 (May 2021) which had jumped from 44 a few months beforehand. I saw a different endocrinologist on Wednesday 9th June who has given me the wake up call that my body just can't handle carbs anymore and we need...

Hi guys! So I got diagnosed as pre-diabetic in February. My HbA1c was 43 after two tests (first one was 48 but apparently it's policy to only diagnose after 2 tests.) Since then I have been Low Carb then Keto and lost about 33kg. I have a blood test coming up and I am SUPER nervous. What if...

I've just been blood tested for second time and results confirm me as "pre-diabetic". I am small, and light, and can't afford to lose weight. I have a varied balanced diet, but probably don't exercise as much as I should. I'll try to improve the latter. What else can I do to avoid becoming...

sorry if this is a long post but I feel a little confused. I’ve always been pretty healthy, a little overweight but active. Having lost 3 stone 3 years ago with slimming world and not putting it back. 2 years ago, out of the blue, I got rushed to hospital to be told I had gallstones stuck (first...

Hi all, I'm looking into the symptoms of a possible diabetes type disorder (sorry if this is badly worded) for myself as I was advised by a paramedic to get a check up whilst I was being rescued from an unrelated injury. Long story short, I didn't stick around the hospital so I never got a...

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...

Hello all. This is my first post here and please correct me if the way I post is not in line with the forum guideline. Please kindly note that english is not my first language. The measurement I'd be using will be in mg/dl (I'm not so familiar with the unit used in UK, but maybe later I will...

Hi, two questions for you please: 1) As a T2 prediabetic, which target limits shall I take into account? The ones for healthy people or the ones for diabetics (T2)? 2) Where can I find those target limits/normal range online? I find controversial information online and in the cards included...

Has anyone had any success with using spices to lower blood sugar? After going thru lots of information I've started on Curcumin tablets (Turmeric). I'm not really a person that usually believes in these things, but after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes I really would like to reverse it. I'm...

Background (feel free to skip to the discussion. TL;DR I wonder if I am prediabetic): For the past several months I've been dealing with growing fatigue and mental cloudiness that became especially intolerable after eating. Initially I attributed this to my awfully fragmented, poor quality of...

Hi guys! I am prediabetic with PCOS and I am just so confused about life and what's going on with my health. My doctor said that because of my hormonal Imbalance that it's not IF I'm going to get diabetes it's WHEN. I'm just really discouraged and frustrated. I've always been a pretty active...
