diabetic?
dh just learned he is on the cusp of being diabetic. Sooo, guess I need to learn about diabetes. Is anyone here versed on it?

When my mother was pre-diabetic, she was told that she could prevent becoming completely diabetic with diet and exercise.
Medically speaking, I don't know how true that is or if it's just another case of the world according to Flossie.
DH is diabetic. What questions do you have?
that is almost verbatum what the nurse told dh. I think it's time for a nutritionist.

I'd start him on the ADA diet and get him exercising a few times a week like the others said. That's honestly the best advice right now. If he's willing I've seen glucometers and test strips sold OTC so he could monitor his blood glucose.If you can think of anything specific, let me know. I'm having a hard time coming up with anything else at the moment. Too tired.
My mom was also told this, upped her exercise, cut out refined carbs and did what her dietician said and is no longer at risk, so it can be done! She definitely made a big lifestyle change to make it happen, though.
