If your family has history of diabetes and your doctor has told you that you are pre diabetic I鈥檓 sorry to tell you that you are diabetic.
Pre diabetic only means you are in the beginning of the disease and don鈥檛 fool yourself into any other thinking.
Blood sugar of 115 is not significantly high. Your best bet is to realize your diet should become 70% vegetarian and 20% protein and 10% carbs.
No sodas, no orange juice and the like. Eat hummus and veggies for snacks, get a diabetes specialist immediately!
I knew all of that and have the family history of diabetes but ignored it and it has made getting the disease significantly harder to get under control. I have a goal of June 2023 to be off insulin and metformin pills by making a crazy amount of lifestyle changes and it鈥檚 hard.
Get a diabetes specialist doctor appointment as soon as possible. Trust me you want to get ahead of the disease or suffer the consequences.
@SW-User accept my apology but please don鈥檛 let it go. One of the effects of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy and that is horrible and for life. I have recently received my third surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulator in hopes of calming the neuropathy pain and it certainly is a blessing and a nightmare.
Again please forgive me for upsetting you. I just wish someone had really talked to me about it and my only intention was to give you information.
@SW-User I totally understand that. I鈥檓 living the same as you and now I鈥檝e added some pretty crazy dental work to my situation. I must be a glutton for punishment.
Perhaps we can change up the topic. Do you like animals? What about a favorite thing to do or a hobby?
@SW-User Cellulitis does suck but it will pass and you will be fine. They tell me I have type 2 diabetes but if that were the case I would be dead from all the sugar I take in daily. Now that covid-19 is no longer the big thing, it seems like they are back to their old tricks of telling us all we are diabetic.
@SW-User I mean taking care of one's health is never a bad idea but at the same time doctors are good at care tactics so that you will pay them more for their services and whatever meds they are pushing. Like I said though, cellulitis sucks and it certainly feels like "the end" when we have it. Just take the antibiotics and take it easy as much as possible and before long - your leg will be perfectly good again :)
@gdon39 I hope it did not seem snide but certain things just are not pleasurable.
I am not saying someone should eat stupid amounts of sugar, just that "healthy snacks" are pointless. No one ever had to tell their spouse or kids to stay out of the carrot jar.
