[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 843477, member: 65903"] Brilliant news CheeseJunkie. I wish I'd had this sort of advice 20 yrs ago when I was diagnosed PreD. I too am a thin active diabetic who has never been above BMI24. Mine was spotted at a routine health check before a FO posting abroad - I felt fine. They didn't call it pre-diabetes as such and just said I should eat a balanced diet. I got no more advice nor checks until I went to the docs 5 yrs later when exactly the same thing happened, but this time they said I was pre-D and that I would inevitably become diabetic because that's how the condition progresses. So I continued with my 'healthy' carb loaded diet. Unsurprisingly eventually I became diabetic in 2004.. But thankfully I've manged to stay off the meds so far through diet and exercise. :-) [/QUOTE]
