Just diagnosted with pre-diabets Hello all,
Went in for yearly checkup about 1 year late, and my doctor found that my BG was slightly elevated ran an A1C and told me that I was a 5.8, Diabetes just around the corner.
He told me to go on the South Beach immediately and loose 20 pounds with exercise, as I am about 20 pounds over weight now. Also wants me to come back in 6 months.
Just have a couple of questions.
Can I get this under control with diet and exercise?
I am 50 years old and have been fit up off and on since my 20s. YO YO dieter and workouts.
Based on what I have heard A1C should be run every three months, is that ture?
And as always any advise out there.
PS: have not diabetes in my family but do have high HDL and LDL. HDL undercontrol with crestor and zetia. |
