what is making you lose weight now? 3 st is impressive.I believe nothing would have made a difference for me.
Ive had superb diet, exercised and took medications/stuck to appointments but my weight wouldnt budge. So I gave up. Twice.
No longer. I'm on tier3 for bariatric surgery and at last losing weight before op.
Just because doctors say lose weight doesnt make it happen if your body has forgotten how too.
Ive read somewhere that insulin cell pathway gets lost. I'm hoping mine has found a way at last.
Lost just under 3st since xmas now.
Dietician believes off orilstat but only taking 1 tablet a day rather than 3 prescribed.what is making you lose weight now? 3 st is impressive.
Why though do they do not take it seriously? Or what needs to happen to get them to take it seriously?Very few people take a diagnosis of pre-diabetes seriously and do anything about it. Maybe it needs a better name like "diabetes onset" or something to make people realise they will have diabetes if they don't make a change to their lifestyle.

You say you have a suburb diet. When you tried to lose weight in the past (twice) how did you go about it? Either time did you follow a low carbohydrate/ low fat diet ? What help or guidance did you get at the time? If so why was it not effective?I believe nothing would have made a difference for me.

Really? Would it have made a difference if the doctor had said it was something to worry about?I was told, by my doctor, that pre-diabetes is nothing to worry about.

As i said - I did not realise it was something to take seriously as it was mentioned, years ago, as part of a checkup, as a throw away comment by my doctor. It wasnt until years later, when I changed practice, that the seriousness of my condition was brought to my attention, and then I immediately took action. By which time I had become actually diabetic.Why though do they do not take it seriously? Or what needs to happen to get them to take it seriously?
Only difference to me now compared to 10yrs ago was I dont eat seeded bread now and I rarely eat porridge. Jacket potato never and I base my meals around a protein not a carb.You say you have a suburb diet. When you tried to lose weight in the past (twice) how did you go about it?

They do this with MS and Alzheimer's so it would be a good idea if that was to happen for diabetes.Maybe it needs a better name like "diabetes onset"
Ouch! All good reasons there.Hello.
I work for a company with a contract with the National Diabetes Prevention Programme. The main reasons for disengagement are as follows:
- Age = many of the patients referred to the programme are retired (70+) and feel it's too late to make changes
- Time = working patients struggle to commit if there are only weekday slots
- Location = many venues are not local to the patient which puts them off
- Lack of education = some patients feel there is nothing wrong, they are healthy now so why bother.
We use the phrase 'pre-diabetic' and that the patient is at risk of developing type 2 but it doesn't always help the referral.
Would that include people who have halted or even reversed their diabetes and pre-diabetes through low carb diets? I do not mention high fat, as some of us (including me) have not raised our fats, simply ditch low fat processed food and use full fat foods, but less of them. This would give a demarcation from the knee jerk reaction of always grouping low carb and high fat into the same eating plan, which seem to make the medical profession shut their ears to any experience of success as mentioned numerous times on this forum.Yes I agree! The educators are good but hearing it from the people that actually have diabetes i think would make a difference.
