Experiences with

Pre-diabetes

I have been diagnosed with steroid induced pre diabetes. I read somewhere that a chromium supplement can help? Anyone else tried ? I’ve been taking pred since January, currently on 6.25mg

What are these diabetes numbers please anyone , normal = 42 - 47 and pre- diabetes = 48

Useful for those who've been told they are in the pre-diabetes or even diabetes range or worried about weight gain and/or raised blood sugar levels due to steroids.

Only abnormality was fasting glucose at pre-diabetes level. Blood sugar has always been low. Diabetes in my family so I am very careful. I am probably 10 lbs overweight, not a lot ( 5' 3" size 8). Could this be related to PBC? Any thoughts? Super aggravated

I have just realised ,when I was a lot thinner Axiban made me tired but my pre diabetes went away now I am fatter I don’t get tired though pre diabetes will be back

so today after eating I got a reading of 145 on my glucose monitor, the reason why I tested is because I wasn't feeling well and I started to sweat. I checked around 30min to 45 minutes after eating. I feel really unwell and I am questioning if it is prediabetes. Any info you can help me with ? thanks

We bang on about cutting carbs when on pred and I thought you might be interested in this article about extremely low carb diets and reversing diabetes and weight gain. It isn't in pred patients but it does show how going low carb works and that it is sustainable on a relatively low income. The only

hi have been diagnosed as pre diabetes 2 at 48 my gp has prescribed atorvaststin . I have to take it for the next 8 weeks and also be careful with my diet . However I am now confused as I have read a common side effects of the statin can be raised blood sugar levels .

Had an NStemi and stent fitted in Oct last year. Obviously a shock and have been following all advice, did cardiac rehab and going on daily walks and gym twice a week. I asked GP surgery for cholesterol blood test to see if it had gone down further and particularly if bad cholesterol had gone down. However

First week completed, I’m finding it difficult to hit the target for fluid intake.

But my HbA1c measurement remains around 41, which is just outside the borderline pre-diabetes figure. So my question is whether this is just another early symptom of steroid reduction? I am a long timer with PMR, since 2017, and flares have kept my Pred dose 7-9mg for most of the time.

I have pre-diabetes and since taking diltiazem my blood sugar has increased. Apparently it can do this according to Dr Google

My T2D is now in Remission and my blood glucose levels are now in the normal range below pre diabetes. I have completely changed my diet and now at the gym 2 or 3 times a week . I have also just been discharged by my cardiac rehabilitation team and now looking to maintain current lifestyle!

Glucose show okay but I know pre diabetes doesn’t usually show on tests. I’m concerned about it. Over the internet acanthosis is more obvious with lines and streaks over the neck and it’s usually darker but I’ve yellow discoloration.

Hi I was out on a high blood pressure tablet that caused pre diabetes I've no idea how to reverse it ,any advice diet plans groups please

Now I think I have diabetes. My blood tests have shown pre-diabetes but the GP won't prescribe Metformin. Has anyone else had this experience. Is my endocrine system slightly different to most people?

I did develop pre-diabetes once I was on pred but that has been brought under control with diet. My questions is why the symptoms of hypoglycemia now? Is it because the pred is being reduced and I am also keeping sugar in take low or what? I hate the jitteryness that comes with it as well.

Hi All, I've just been diagnosed with pre diabetes. Are there any foods that I can eat that you could possibly recommend 🫶🙏
