hi, justgot a call from my dr had yearly blood work done and shes real concered about my sugar.. seems that its a little high. last year the test it was 121, this year its was 115 so its not as hih as last years but she thinks am pre-diabete. my mom is one and so is my sister but i feel fine and dont have any problems, am not a sweet eater , but i have put on some weight like 20 pds. so if i lose the weight will that take the sugar down and stop me from becoming a diabete?
115 sounds good...My husbands was 312 thins morning and he feels great...if you feel good, it could be that thas an ok number for you...
thank you wave it was very helpful. i had a reading of 121 last year and this year its 115, so i didnt think it was to bad , but maybe am wrong and yes am carrying around 15-20 pds more than i should. we did eat out the night before the test and than went to a movie and boy did i pour on the butter and had a little pop-corn with it lol could that had changed it. i will start watching wqhat i eat and just got a wii fittness so starting that and walking my treadmill, hope to change it because i do not want to become a diabete, it runs in my family.

Losing 20 lbs will help significantly lower your glucose level along with daily exercise and proper nutrition. I saved this from a previous of mine: Proper nutrition means to accentuate the positive when it comes to food. I dislike the word diet. “Diet” implies a rigorous, self-sacrificial discipline that’s doomed to fail. Instead, focus on achieving food goals of what you should eat each day rather than what you shouldn’t eat. When you consume more vegetables, healthy fats [such as olive oil and nuts], lean proteins, fruits combined with low carbohydrate, low calorie, low starchy foods, your hunger will be satisfied and you will naturally want to make better choices. Avoid eating white foods - anything made with white flour [white breads, rolls, pasta, crackers, etc], potatoes, and white rice. Limit caffeine intake too.
If you have an Endocrinologist [a diabetes doctor] or a diabetes nurse, or a nutritionist they can help you a lot with nutritional guidelines - Serving sizes, and how many servings of each type food that's safe for you.
