[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 1258055, member: 48386"] Probably at least a year or maybe even 2, although I had a history of impaired glucose tolerance prior. Twice before I'd quit smoking and gained 20 kgs and ended up with a prediabetes diagnosis. Once I'd start smoking again and lose the weight, my BG would "normalise" but knowing what I know now after lots of reading, getting the diagnosis of Type 2 after quitting for the 3rd time and gaining weight again, it was probably inevitable. If I'd known then what I know now, maybe I'd have taken the prediabetes stuff more seriously, though a lot of the stuff I now know is current research. Given the BS dietary advice still being dished out by Diabetes Australia, I'd probably have been no better off :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
