Hi everyone, I'm new on the forums

I am 170cm tall, weight 68kg, 29 inches waist (1 years ago i weighed 98kg with a 43in waist).

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes 1 years ago, but have never taken any medications. I restrict my blood sugar with diet weight loss and exercise.

Now my fasting blood sugar levels are 4.6 mmol/L and my HBA1C was 5.2%. Am I a diabetic - pre-diabetic?

Can prediabetes be cured? Is there hope for me? If someone could just answer my question.....I'd be so grateful.
Thanks~
 
I was diagnosed pre-diabetes in March 2013. I am so confused by it all. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with of these problems. My doctor says i'm boarderline diabetic.

i believe pre diabetes is reversible, but its irrelevant if you think about it, you have done amazingly well with your new lifestyle and are much more healthy, if you were cured, would you go back to eating what you want and put the weight back on? because you would uncure yourself, best thing to do is treat this as a warning and know your strong enough to prevent this coming back whilst enjoying the good health, you know this is underlying and use that as motivation to be healthy forever

just my opinion

best of luck
 
Wow you have done amazingly well I would just enjoy the way you are now and keep up the good work I think that I agree with what Andy said (and that doesnt happen very often)
