[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 387882, member: 65903"] pickledpepper2 IGT = impaired glucose tolerance i.e. pre-diabetic, picked up on a GTT on my foreign office pre-posting medical. I wasn't given any advice at the time but I spent the next 2 years eating a regular Basotho diet of cornmeal and spinach, with plenty of walking and running. I got diagnosed on the basis of consecutive GTTs in 2004 (weighing 80kgs) but I didn't get my first Hba1c until 2007 (73kgs) when it was 6.6%. I got it back to 5.9% by 2008 (68kgs) but it has crept up since (6.5% in Feb) as has my weight, until I started low carbing and I'm now down to 66kgs) I used to do ridiculous amounts of exercise before diagnosis but then I changed career and don't do as much. These days I run 3x a week (60-90mins each), do 1or2 weights sessions, a couple of walks and a few HIT sessions. [/QUOTE]
