I had an A1C of 6.5 and my doctor diagnosed me as pre-Type II diabetic

Luckily you have a very progressive doctor. Most would have declared you diabetic for life.

Got off it after a couple weeks of problems. Started keto, got a glucose monitor and have lost 20 lbs, lowered my A1C by 0.9 to 5.8 and my glucose by 25 points.

Good job! You might want to check out Dr. Jason Fung's book. and videos by Dr. Sarah Hallberg.

Thank you for the suggestions! His nurse said essentially the same thing but said he likes to go through a process before final diagnosis. I’ve had some diabetes type symptoms but had an eye appt today and doctor said no changes.

Had a friend who was a Type I and he died waiting for a kidney transplant after having gone blind. At the end, he knows it was his choices that he had weaponized his disease and wouldn’t let anyone in his family donate a kidney.
