I am in range to be diabetic, but my doc wanted me to try the shots first and see what things look like before sticking that diagnosis on my record. Pretty much all of my mom's family was diabetic, so it's definitely not a stretch.

Anyone telling you in range means you're diabetic. There's no such thing as prediabetes. That's like saying a little bit dead or kind of pregnant.

PS I know because I've been battling this disease almost 20 years. It's a struggle.

Oh, I know it! Watched my mom test her blood sugar and give her insulin injections my whole life. She ended up dying from kidney failure as a side effect of badly controlled diabetes.

A couple years ago, my A1C was 5.7 when I was working out regularly. The most recent a few weeks ago was 6.8 and I am completely to blame. Just praying I can make some positive changes for myself.

Diabetes sucks. I hope you're able to live as well as possible with it. Keto diet is supposed to be an enormous help!

Thanks, not sure why I never got a notification for this reply.

Anyway, sorry to hear that...that's sad, it does affect the kidneys, my mom had the same issue and she passed away two years ago :(

I know about keto...I wrote a book about it. lol
