Message: <blockquote data-quote="greg" data-source="post: 105999" data-attributes="member: 20831">Hi thereI read somewhere that at some point in time everyone who suffers from type 2 diabetes would have suffered from "pre diabetes" (I dont know if that is strictly true?)and progressed onto full blown type 2 due to either their lack of knowledge, interest or even apathy. The reason I say this is because last january i had some blood tests & discovered I had impaired fasting glycaemia, through the elimination of bread potatoes & pasta which I had previously consumed in copious amounts and a disciplined exercise regime I am now happy to report my blood sugars are back to normal (5.4 mmls avg in the morning). I guess the moral of what i'm trying to say is with just small adjustments over time if we are given the knowledge and help we can make a big difference as to whether we contract type 2 or not, sadly my doctor told me at least roughly 60% (his opinion) of all people he sees with what I had (IFG) go on to develop type 2 and just accept the notion that they are going to be on pills for the rest of their lives. Your site and the people on it offered me good advice which obviously bore fruit, the main thing I was encouraged to do was modify my diet (less carbs)and throw away the "fact sheet" that the diabetic nurse gave me to follow. Happily for me I did both and can confirm that what you advise people to do if adhered to actually worksmany thanksGreg</blockquote>
