While they cannot reverse diabetic neuropathy, there is an effective way to prevent it with an OTC supplement.
Sodium Stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. “NA R-ALA.”

Hmmm....from your link:
“Rather than 1 in 3 U.S. adults having high blood pressure (32 percent) with the previous definition, the new guidelines will result in nearly half of the U.S. adult population (46 percent) having high blood pressure, or hypertension...The prevalence of high blood pressure is expected to triple among men under age 45, and double among women under 45 according to the report.”
In the last 5 years around the local Watering Hole ... those of us ol Farts that are still around drink Ultra-Lite and talk about Keto (aka No Sugar, Nothing White) diet.
Watched folks lose a foot, then another, then go blind and then go Broke while they spend 3 days a week at the Dialysis Center just months before they die in there 50’s or early 60’s.
Diabetes is rampant and completely Preventable and mostly Reversible with Diet Change.
I wish some cabal of true, honest brainiacs would develop a master “BS Handbook” that was constantly refined, a reference to cut through the BS on various things (like this). There is SO much information these days that it’s almost pointless trying to look for “the truth”.
This thread is helpful for this ONE thing. Thank you. What about the million OTHER things, though? Lol. We’re gonna die before we figure them out!

Many thanks for y’all’s posts!
Dreadful, what big pharma is up to ..
Many are rejecting that term “prediabetic.” Just having higher-than-normal blood sugar does not mean you will go on to have diabetes. It discourages people from changing their diet, if nothing else.
I had a problem with a medication and stopped taking it. Nothing happened. I felt the same as before.
I decided to drop my other two prescription medications. Nothing happened. I felt the same as before.
I developed a new symptom and went for a checkup. Hadn’t been taking prescription medications for about six months. The doctor was pissed that I hadn’t been taking the medications.
All my tests came out normal. When he called to tell me that, he sounded even more pissed than before.
LOL

You’re welcome-it is very interesting that my family members were called health freaks who were lunatics for not consuming “miracle drugs” and “improved” packaged foods, and bad parents for teaching their kids their insane lifestyle-now amazingly, they were right after all...
Sounds like he forgot who is the customer and who the salesperson is-needs a class in customer service-his current customer manners will result in a loss of business from informed people who are their own managers, read and do research...
Excerxise
And how many unnecessary prescriptions will be written for those folks?
This study pretty much confirms it.
While fasting sugar can be a sign of something ungood (sugars higher than 90ish cause your pancreas to work much harder), what’s the biggie (that they never test for) is fasting insulin. That’s the biggie. Insulin upregulates most bad things (bad cholesterol for one) and is implicated in high blood pressure.
Lower your insulin (overall, not just fasting) by avoiding things your body has to have insulin to properly metabolize and you’ll be good.
