@188213 Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. I have Diabetes Type 2, and would like to give you answers to your questions. First, when you were diagnosed, did the Dr. give you any information about how to prevent going into full diabetes? Usually, the Dr. may send you to an endocrinologist who takes height, weight, and blood numbers and runs other tests. Have you had any of that done? I went to an endocrinologist to get all the information. He also included a dietician in my team to help me adjust to changes I had to make in my lifestyle. Diabetes is a complicated disease and there is no cure. As a prediabetic, you need to be very careful so that you don't cross the line. Numbers are different because every person is different. All ages, Type 1 or Type 2, different weights, different mobility, and many more factors contribute. Is the Dr. who told you pre-diabetic your Primary or an endocrinologist? Did he/she tell you anything about what to do? I ask these questions because I found out my Primary knows little about diabetes. You have to get the basics first and then you can know what to do to prevent progression. Let me know, and I hope I can help.
