@naiviv I’m 50+ years full bore diabetic and I would LOVE to have your numbers! I have many friends and family who have been diagnosed pre diabetic. Some of them have had good results with Metformin. It does have some yucky side effects that require some getting used to. It sounds like you are already working hard at sticking to a good eating plan and weight. Do you also have a plan for some type of exercise and physical activity? These things are important for good health for everyone whether diabetic or not. Keep us posted on how things are going over the next 4 months and how your next labs turn out. Do you use any glucose monitoring system at home? There are lots of kinds available.

I exercise 5 days a week, walking 45-60 minutes on a treadmill. I don’t check my glucose at home. I am strictly following the Mediterranean diet. I don’t eat eat sweets at all, no alcohol and never have smoked. I have always had less than 90 glucose but surprisingly the A1C was 5.7 which I can attribute it to my high triglycerides which have come down to normal, cholesterol is borderline right now. As soon as I get my labs in 4 months I will share. At this point I am not driven to take Metformin.
