Hi
Received the results of my blood test from the doctor this Tuesday. My h1ac was 6 which he said was in the pre-diabetic range.
I must admit a big thanks to my wife who was the one who arranged for me to see the doctor in the first place. She had noticed a slow but gradual weight loss over the past few months. Coupled with this she was getting concerned at how tired I was - especially after my evening meal - generally falling asleep every night in the chair sometimes as early as 6pm! I think the last straw was me complaining about tingling in my hands and arms.
I must admit that it still hasn't fully sunk in especially because I am not unfit and my diet is reasonably good. I eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. I love salads which I eat most days. I am also a bit of a gym-head and consistently go to the gym 3 times a week for 1.5 to 2 hour sessions. On the off days I do plenty of press-ups and situps and walk the dog.
I am really pleased to find this forum so that I can start to make sense of it all. I am sure I will bombard you all with numerous questions in the coming weeks!
Just to kick the questions off. As a gym-head I was intending to begin using Maximuscle Promax Extreme however with the recent pre-diabetes development will this make things worse?
