It's hard to believe that the changes over the last 6 months could have been so dramatic, but I won't go back to little exercise and mounds of pasta. The exercise alone has helped my mind and soul as much as my body. Thank you all.

That's wonderful!! I could pretty much say the same thing verbatim regarding your Nov A1C of 6.1 I just had one on April 5th and it was 5.8 (normal range but HIGH normal) and it too scared me into action. I've lost 15 lbs and exercise 20-60 minutes almost every day (mostly brisk walking ). Today I worked but I am not exercising. I HOPE and PRAY that my next A1c (Nov) will be 5.5 or lower!) We'll see. Again, so happy to hear that it was that low after your change.


One question, At 6.1 were you diagnosed as a diabetic?? Here my doctor's lab says 6+ and you are classified as a diabetic. So with your normal of 4.9 are you no longer a diabetic? , remission? (I'm still confused as to why PRE-D's can "reverse" their condition by normalizing their numbers but once you are a diabetic EVEN IF you reverse you numbers to normal levels the medical profession still says you have diabetes? I don't understand that.
