If you're healthy and fit but prediabetic...

[Tahinitahni]

I'm just curious. I am 90% very healthy eating, do a lot of exercise, but dad has type 2 diabetes and my sugars last time around (2021) weren't prediabetic but were on the higher end of the normal range.

I've got another test in a few weeks, and have a sneaky feeling they'll be higher. Post menopausal, despite all efforts, waist is about 2cm bigger than it was in Jan.

ANyway, my point is - if it is higher, in prediabetic range - what can you do to reverse it?

There’s info here and there is also a link on here to the healthier you NHS diabetes prevention programme, there may be one running in your area.

If your HBA1C was in the higher end of the normal range it’s still normal, wait and see what this blood test reveals before you panic!

Dr Michael Moseley (on the BBC quite a lot) showed you can reverse Type 2 Diabetes through diet - my mum did it and it worked (she also ate healthily before and was not overweight but following this programme meant she never needed to go on medication) https://www.amazon.co.uk/8-Week-Blood-Sugar-Diet-reprogramme/dp/1780722400

Actually I think it was this book she followed but same principles as the earlier one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-800-combine-intermittent-long-term/dp/1780723628
