I'm prediabetic. My doctor sent me to a diet coach, who advises my diet. It's hard, I'm fat I like junk food I'm trying to make changes. protein at every meal, fruits instead of sweet treats. Limit carbs, limit sugar.

My primary care doctor doesn't do anything, and the free Medicare program listed out here was shut down because the doctors said individual responsibility should be on the dime of the patients, not for a freebie program. They don't realize that metabolic disorders are managed like mental health issues are managed; but obesity itself - even if you're normal weight by managing it - is still not our fault, nor is being prediabetic or diabetic. We just have to take steps to manage it and reverse it, but the fact that we have these metabolic disorders would be there even if we ate healthy and starved ourselves. The number of adipocytes do not change, and it's the number of those that are concerning, along with predisposing factors.

Yes, exercise is great for toning and for improving cardiovascular fitness etc., but for weight loss and particularly reversing prediabetes diet is the biggest change you can make. The good thing is that type 2 diabetes/prediabetes can be easily addressed by changing your diet, the bad thing is that you have to make permanent changes to how/what you eat. It's worth checking out things like the blood sugar diet, or look into intermittent fasting. Also worth looking for diet advice etc. from places like the American Diabetes Association. |
