@maciel29, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m Cheryl and hang out in the Diabetes & Endocrinology Group. What lead to your diagnosis of Pre Diabetes (symptoms, lab tests … etc.)? Other members have made some good suggestions pertaining to diet, exercise, life style changes, medications that have helped them. In Mayo Clinic Connect we are members that share similar experiences and tell about what has been helpful to us. We shouldn’t diagnose or try to prescribe anything. What kind of provider diagnosed this and what recommendations did he or she have for you?

Do you think a nutritionist is the right person to diagnose your diabetic level?
I too lost weight. I was 243 last year and this year my weight dropped to 212. After a hospital stay I came home weighing 186 lbs and now I’m at 190. That helped my sugar level drop and the doctor stopped prescribing metformin and, like I said earlier, I’m no longer on metformin yet my sugar is 95 to 105. I also walk around the track daily. I haven’t done much about what I eat though.
