Default pre-diabetes?

i've been having all kinds of tests done as i'm ttc, but also seeing the same guy for my pcos.

one test that came back today was for my fasting glucose, which was 108. i don't think i've ever had one that high before, and from what i read, i now have pre-diabetes.

what do i do now? are there foods i should just not eat? is sugar completely out of the window? is this why i've been having to take naps in the afternoon?

i feel like such a big fat faliure :(

(and i do mean fat - i'm terribly overweight right now...)

Hi mix,

don't be so hard on yourself. I too am a borderling diabetic and I am always so tired. As a matter of fact after I put my kids on the school bus this morning, I laid down from 9:45 - 1:45. And I could have stood in bed longer. I just didn't feel like I got enough sleep.

As far as avoiding foods, I basicly changed my whole eating habits and I now eat healthy foods and I exercise (walk a mile everyday).

I hope you feel better soon.


(((HUGS)))


Julie

Pre-diabetes doesn't mean you WILL get diabetes. Check the articles board for the rate of adults with pre-diabetes who DON"T get diabetes IF they take their meds. If I remember correctly it's around 80%!

Lower refined carb diets can be great for regulating sugar and insulin levels. What meds are you on?

i've just been put on metformin (again). i'm working up to a dose of 1800mg. i've also been told to diet and exercise.

i just feel so tired all the time. i know i have to be proactive about this though - this is my wakeup call.

it's just a bit of a shock right now.
