Pre-diabetes

I hope you can lose some more pounds and be no more pre-diabetic.

I hope you find a way to be more successful, although losing five dollars is a positive. Is there any way you can cut all soda? My aunt cut her Coke Zero out and she lost weight. Her doctor told her it wasn’t making her gain weight, but it was keeping her from losing any more. Apparently sugar substitutes have an affect on us too. Now, I’m not telling you to do it because I myself have to at least have some kind of carbonated beverage. I thought I’d just point it out in case you happened to be like my aunt. You trying is a start. Some people are content to just continue bad health habits, and you are not.

I hope your diet helps. Some of the pills they give have bad side effects.

I quit drinking soda. I drink tea and flavored water. I had to quit because I discovered that I have high blood pressure and I had Hepatitis C.

My father has this problem too.

My Mum had pre-diabetes, and she had to cut down on her sugar. But it's very hard because there's sugar in almost everything. We had to keep reading the labels on everything and buy no added sugar cereals, biscuits, sweets and chocolate!

That's great that you are five pounds healthier. I'm working on a similar path but going the Vegetarian route and trying to force water down my throat.

It's tough to hear that your efforts haven't resulted in the changes you were hoping for in your blood work, especially after making significant adjustments to your diet and lifestyle. Pre-diabetes can be a challenging condition to manage, but it sounds like you're taking proactive steps to improve your health. It's commendable that you've been committed to making healthier choices like switching to zero sugar sodas and following a keto-friendly diet. Losing 5 lbs is a significant achievement, and it shows that your efforts are making a difference, even if the results weren't as dramatic as you'd hoped. Incorporating exercise into your routine, rain or shine, is a fantastic approach to improving your overall health and managing pre-diabetes. Whether it's riding your stationary bike on rainy days or going for walks when the weather is clear, every bit of physical activity adds up and contributes to your well-being. Remember, progress takes time, and every step you take towards a healthier lifestyle is a step in the right direction. Keep up the dedication and perseverance, and hopefully, you'll see even more positive changes in your next round of blood work. Wishing you all the best for improved health and success in November!
