Thanks for posting this. I was just diagnosed as being prediabetic, despite being very slender and fit. Scared me half to death, because there isn’t much I can do to improve my diet or lose weight. A coworker just died of diabetes a few months ago and she too was slender, fit, and disciplined about eating.
I caught this curse seven years ago (dad was, my aunt was) and have found the number one benefit is exercise. A swim of a half hour walk can improve control dramatically.
Within a month, all of the symptoms that led me to the dr were gone. By the end of month three, I'd lost 20 pounds and felt wonderful. After a year on the 60g a day diet I gradually "fell off the wagon" and still did really well for several years. Just now I'm starting to "feel it" and I know that it's time to do the right thing again.
This doctor really did cure me of type 2 diabetes. Yes, in the beginning the diet sucked and got really boring. But the 60g a day wasn't that bad.
