A few weeks ago I had a Dr. visit where he said that I'm "pre-diabetic". Yesterday, a family friend (who is a Nurse Practitioner) found out about that and brought a glucose monitor to me to keep track for a while and see where I'm at. It's only been a day, but looks like my test results are plenty high...
This is all new. The thought of major changes to diet and lifestyle scares me. The thought of the *results* of good changes sounds great, but it's *making* the changes that has me worried, because they are hard changes for me to make. I'm hoping I'll find help & support here, and hopefully I can be a support for others.
