[QUOTE="bramas, post: 1715326, member: 291514"] Hello: I have been enrolled on this forum for some time now, but have not properly introduced myself. My name is Gwendolyn, I am a healthy 79 year old Eurasian widow. I have three adult children, one girl and two boys. My favorite activities are reading, listening to music, and dancing. I live in Trinidad, West Indies. I have visited Canada, New York, Miami, Guyana and St. Lucia. Where my health is concerned, I like to take preventative steps, rather than wait for something to happen. So, five years ago I had a GTT done. This indicated that I was pre-diabetic. So, I started a diet and exercise program, with AIC results of: in 2014- 6.1%, 2015- 6.2%, 2016- 6.3%, 2017- 5.5%. Normal for this lab is 4.5%-6.3%. I prefer not to take medication, unless it is strictly necessary, so as not to end up with the whole pharmacy in my medicine cabinet. So far, so good. But still wonder whether I will regret not taking Metformin as one doctor suggested.... [/QUOTE]
