I haven't been formally diganosed (sp?) as having diabetes, however my Dr has great concern over my blood chemistry. She refers to me as a "pre-diabetic". My fasting glucose was averaging over 135, with the triglycerides VERY high (over 500!). In addition, my cholesterol levels were not real bad, but needed to be changed. In short, I have spent most of my life eating fats and carbs, so I am changing my diet, losing weight, and eating more properly.
Thanks for the word of support, Stingo....I expect that as the weight drops so will my numbers. It's good to know that it has worked for others!
