Congradulations! And just a thought. I am a t2, so talking to itch other T2's is easy, the diagnosis of prediabetic is a relatively new discussion and may or may not take a modified approach, it always helped me to hear from people who went through some what like what I did.

So I hope you stick around and spread your experience around to other Prediabetics who are wondering what to do.

 

Great job

Great job

 

I will fraser. I will say that compared to those with lots of experience with T2, I do kind of feel like I don't have much to offer.

 

But then I think, what about people with pre-diabetes? Those who want to keep from developing T2, and even reverse their current situation.

 

I don't know what the future holds, but today I feel if I continue to embrace the changes I've made, things will be great. Regardless of what my numbers say, I will still consider myself a pre-diabetic.

 

The thing I want to dabble in now is intermittent fasting. Been watching videos by Dr. Jason Fung.

Great! We all have a lot to offer, real life experience!!

We both ended up with sort of similar A1c's bur we started in totally different places.

Actually the hardest fight for me was to get my A1c under 6.0.

So congradulations again, I am looking forward to learn from those who are controlling their

Prediabetes.
