Thank you, sel1! My doctor won’t acknowledge that I am a diabetic, so I am not put on any medication yet. I am eager to reverse the prediabetes, I am not on any medication, but I have been trying various kinds of management strategies, like herbs, vitamins, minerals, diets, lifestyle, stress management etc. I succeeded sometimes for some symptoms, but I also experienced bleeding, bloating, abdomen pain, gasiness, burp, acid reflex, diarrhea for taking the wrong supplements or the wrong doses, or the wrong timing…
The following is my version of sharing, hope it can serve some purposes (female, age 48/2019, 100 pounds/160cm, prediabetes diagnosed at the age of 47, 5.8 /104) . I not a smoker, not a drinker, not a sweet tooth, trying to live a healthy life for my whole life, though I didn't start doing physical exercise religiously until prediabetes diagnosis one year ago. Malabsorption and insomnia undermine my health due to genetic predisposition.
Symptoms and diagnosis (just to mention a few): gestational diabetes, chronic constipation and diarrhea, gallstones since I was a teenager, delayed hypersensitivity, skin problems, allergy to metals, herpes infection, candida infection, sinus arrhythmia, chest pain, short of breath, recurrent trimester pregnancy loss, tenosynovitis and fasciitis when I was 35, life long severe insomnia, fragmented sleep, sleep apnea, sickening familial migraine, joint pain, recurrent planter warts on foot toe, chronic fatigue.
Management strategies that work for me: good sleep can ameliorate most of my symptoms. I am trying various vitamin combination to see how it works.
