My name is Bob and I was recently diagnosed with prediabetes with an A1C of 7.1. I am 69 years young and 20 pounds overweight @ 185. I live in the Free State of Florida, USA.
I have significantly revised my diet eliminating refined/white carbs, sugar, most fruits, etc. Now eating high protein fresh foods, veggies, low carb snacks, etc.
I have lost 1 pound a week for the last 3 weeks, and have reduced my fasting/morning blood sugar reading from 143 to 112-117. I currently only test in the morning. My Doctor has prescribed Metformin @ 500mg once daily. I have yet to take it as I want to control things through diet, exercise and healthy living if possible. Drugs are a last resort for me.
