>tfw pre-diabetic
Well IST it finally fricking happened. I gained 20kg over the last couple of years (used to be super fit and muscular, now look like a fat slob). I started dieting again a couple of months ago and already lost a good amount of weight but still have a way to go.
Had a blood test yesterday and it looks like I’m fricking pre-diabetic. My 13h fasted blood glucose was 100. My A1C results didn’t come back yet, but it’s most likely even worse because it’s a 3-4 month average.
Is this reversible? FRICK
Yes.
Start fasting. Reduce carbs. Walk 15-20k steps a day
You'll be back to normal within a year
Thanks bro, the worst part is that I’ve actually been fasting a day every week, lifting and running 6 days a week, and restricting calories drastically (didn’t pay much attention to carbs in particular, but I barely consumed any besides oats).
So this was a little shocking. I can only imagine how bad it was at my peak fatness.

>Wonders why he is prediabetic
lol
Here’s my reverse progress so you can see the damage.
I’ve already lost about 1/3 of the weight, and my strength and muscle mass are almost fully restored.
I know I’m on my way to make a full recovery, but what the frick do I do with this beetus?
jeez why’d you quit lifting?
Not gonna make excuses, I just fricked up. Wasn't a very happy time in my life.
Wasn't me but I don't think 100 is good at all.
Sounds like one already has diabetes and the other will probably have diabetes soon. I'm not sure these girls are very good role models...
Pls explain
Technically 100 is already pre-diabetes and this comes after 2-3 months of hard work which is depressing.
What routine on thr left?
PPL
100 isn’t high it’s borderline normal
"normal" for Americans is high
Nah you're just being hysterical again.
no, i'm not, "normal" values have been increasing over time as population gets sicker and sicker
actually anything below 100 is considered healthy and 100-125 is pre diabetes so OP is literally borderline normal and can drop to normal by simply doing what he’s already been doing
two of my coworkers had 115 and 130 and they’re skinny fat girls who barely workout and eat and drink like shit. I think you’ll be fine.
probably just elevated cortisol, don't think too much about it, also don't tell me you're on a low carb diet?
Not low card, I'm just doing CICO and counting protein, not paying too much attention to carbs/fat (other than saturated fats).
I eat fruits and vegetables, oats, and sometimes spelt bread. Maybe I should lay off the protein bars...

This is great, keep it up SAD-anon. We need more people to represent the horrors of blind CICO
Please share your wisdom frogposter
What are the symptoms?
extreme thirst
fatigue
pain when pissing
i had these symptoms these january but way worse, my pee is like dark colored, always thirsty, and yeah fatigue.
had a fasting glucose of 174 and a1c of 8.6%
turns out its diabetes secondary to papillary renal cell carcinoma, a month after my nephrectomy, i got fasting glucose of 74 and a1c of 4.8%. 3 months post op here
Uhhh anon can you please explain this in simple English?
some cancers can cause hyperglycemia / high blood sugar. go and search for "hyperglycemia renal cell carcinoma"
if he has pain pissing that urinary tract from his kidneys to bladder to prostate needs to be checked
so have your kidneys checked too if you have pain pissing. ultrasound, ctscan or a urogram
People only experience symptoms once they're fully diabetic, you usually don't know you have it until it's too late. I just happened to take an unrelated blood test and it came up.
I'm a DYEL ottermode and haven't eaten sugar in years but I'm fricking terrified of diabetes. My hba1c is 5.3% and the doc says that's fine but it seems like it's very high and something to worry about now.
>5.3%
>very high
it's not very high. it's literally normal. anything below 5.7% is normal range.
OP here. A1C just came back as 5.2%. Was it a nothingburger?
My fasting glucose is often 90-100 mg/dL, even in full ketosis, unless I do an extended fast and don't do intense exercise. I've read that this is fairly common in athletic people, your body is trained to expect the need for fast energy. Not a big deal if your triglycerides and A1c are low.
Interesting. Source?
I first heard about it from the Chad doctor I used to go to, I'm sure there's research out there, not sure what the definitive paper is for non-endurance athletes. The rest is from self-experimentation, I've done extensive blood testing for both glucose and ketones; and my blood sugar doesn't really drop super low unless I go at least two days without lifting/sprinting/etc. My A1c is pretty much always 5.1, and my triglycerides are <= my HDL in mg/dL, so I'm not concerned in the least.
My A1C came back 5.2% and trigs were 54, both seem great so I’m not as concerned anymore. LDL was a bit high at 105 but overall cholesterol was 165
Nice, you're gonna make it. TG:HDL ratio is more important than LDL or total cholesterol. LDL is kind of a useless metric without getting the subfractions, but most doctors are behind the times on this.
Just checked and TG:HDL is 1.1 which is low risk, almost the optimum level. Feels good mane

, I became a fat frick pretty fast from binge eating slop for a couple of years
Bro I'm 330 and 50 and I'm not even pre-diabetic. Have you just been eating nothing put lollypops?

seriously fatness/beetus is a solved problem
>Is this reversible?
That- that's literally why your diagnosis was PRE-diabetic.
To find out at this stage is actually excellent news, like- make some changes and you won't have incredibly expensive, life threatening diabetes for life.
It's like finding a malignant tumor that be fully expunged before it metastasizes.
Get a new primary care physician though if he didn't go over a management plan with you, because holy shit that's negligent.
>Is this reversible?
of course, just stop being a fat frick and eat better

>Is this reversible? FRICK
