Welp. It's official. I'm prediabetic. Does anyone have websites or cookbook suggestions to help me get this under control? Because the information is a little overwhelming.
@BADeMorte
The big question is which type of pre-diabetes. Do you have family history of adult-onset, non-insulin requiring diabetes? Are you overweight/inactive? If so, reduce weight, limit carbs, increase exercise, optimize other risk factors like smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure.
@BADeMorte
But if you are thin and your family history runs more toward autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism or B12 deficiency, consider testing for autoimmune diabetes. In that case, instead of "prediabetes" you would be called "stage 2 diabetes" and would possibly qualify for antibody treatment to prevent progression to insulin dependent diabetes.
One drug for prevention has been approved and more are in the pipeline
