I did it !   Didn't want to become a diabetic ! Told Dr. I could do it myself.  Not taking pills either .

My A1C went from 5.9 to 5.6 !   I wanted better, but, only been 6 months, but, I’m out of the pre-diabetes range at least.

Cholesterol is 177

Glucose is 95

At least I got some good news for a change ! Tore myself a new one.  ROFL

Maybe by Dec. I can get the A1C down better. Be a whole yr. by then.

@SharkE I am so happy for you!  We did that 3 years ago!  We've been sort of Mediterreanean style, more grains, better fats and fewer, lots and lots of fruits, veggies and big whole-meal salads with good tuna (Tonnino or Santo Amaro usually), more fish too.  

If you track it on a computer program and see that you are getting all the protein, FIBER, and calcium you need, it is amazing because you aren't hungry all the time!  Sugar and white carbs make you just crave more.

You get a gold star from me and whatever you are doing girl keep it up!!!!!!!!    Find what you can live with!

I eat sugar free cookies and tell myself it's ones I've made. LOL Chew Trident sugar free cinnamon gum.

Strawberries with those tiny cakes at walmart is my 

go to dessert .

Got away from Smuckers Preserves and switched to their sugar free choices.   I didn't want that noose around my neck of being a diabetic. Complicates your life. Take Prevastain 20 mg to help with cholesterol.

Thank God not a big meat eater. Prefer turkey and chicken.
