Experiences with

Prediabetes

I mentioned that I had prediabetes and he said "well you don't anymore". I was quite taken aback by this as I expected to still have it, I don't feel my diet is that great so was quite surprised. Have I managed to reverse prediabetes?

I am forever grateful for the low carbs advice on this forum, which stopped my prediabetes from deteriorating.

Hi, has anyone developed new onset diabetes or prediabetes on atorvastatin? If so how soon did it show up and did changing the statin help at all? Am already on ezetimibe. Seeing GP next week and not sure what I should be asking for. Any advice gratefully received.

However intelligent to back on although my doc said my blood test was a bit high and I also have prediabetes caused by the steroid. He told me to cut out sugar and processed goods but I rarely have processed food and very little sugar.

If this is some kind of transient metabolic phenomenon - is it more likely to be an issue with prediabetes/insulin/glucose or with liver processes? I am a 71 year old man with a handful of issues including Polymyalgia Rheumatica (taking steroids).

I am meeting with my PCP this Thursday to review the prediabetes readings and other general health issues. All of the other labs done look great. I expect the next step will be to lose weight and see what happens.

Hi and thanks for any thoughts. I have recently been diagnosed as prediabetic with increased cholesterol. I tried cutting back on carbs but am a keen cyclist and felt a loss of energy and stamina. Further tests done and awaiting others but hyperthyroidism likely. My weight is going down and I would

I have chronic renal failure stage 3 , have had aerotic valve surgery, also fairly high ldl cholesterol, prediabetes because of simvastatin, nhs will not authorize pcsk9 inhibitors for me , it seems that the nhs would prefer you to become diabetic than give better drugs without side effects

My HbA1c is 43 putting me in prediabetes range. I’ve been trying to improve diet but only recently trying to avoid too many carbs…..not enough to affect conversion, I wouldn’t have thought. is it time to try to source some Lio or are there things I should do to improve conversion?

No other intervention for prediabetes is indicated at this point. In the most important parameter, I continue to feel fine. My quality of life is very good, which is what matters the most. I will confirm the plan to stay at 175mcg Besremi with my MPN care team.

My AIC is at 6 which is borderline to diabetes. I am taking steps to modify my diet and lose the weight I gained during COVID and while on PRED. I tapered off PRED THIS June. I have a family history of diabetes so I am aware that while my siblings were diagnosed in their 50's I have postponed the problem

The standard advice on all sites re prediabetes is: 1. to lose weight- my brother is already underweight 2. to take exercise, based on the recommendation of 150- 75 mins which raises the heart rate - impossible & risky in his case 3. To drink more - recommended 6 -8 glasses of water a day.

I am 67 with prediabetes sometimes. I’ve tried all the alternative remedies but none worked. Nor did losing four stone. Is this really how to go on? Thanks for any thoughts, I know others with similar problems.

The last A1C, glucose results indicate prediabetes may be progressing.

so - - saw my GP about a raised HBA1c which means I am pre-diabetic and her advice about diet is useless as I TRULY could not reduce/exclude anything more, so that leaves 1. genetics, which I cannot change and 2. upping exercise, which is, as you all know, not easy but hey - ho - off I go. AND then
