I was prediabetic (A1C 6.3) for a bit and my doctor warned me, but it really didn't sink in and I thought I'd just make small changes over time and be done with it. I go in for weight-loss and new blood tests showed my 2023 holiday freak out turned my 6.3 to a 6.9 this past March so I know I was only in this range for a short time. I was put on the lowest dosage of Mounjaro. Freaked me the ______ out. So I researched like crazy and bought a glucose meter (no one told me to buy one which I thought was weird) and tested like crazy. Then I stumbled upon Beat Diabetes and similar CZcams channels. I was at the point I felt like anything I ate was poison to me and it was a lot to process. Today after 10 weeks of low-carbing my A1C has dropped to 5.8 (lost 52 pounds so far) and working to get it into the low 5's. I think pre-diabetes needs to be called diabetes to put the fear in people like me.
Omg i resonated with your experience so much! I wish you nothing but health and strength! I just recently last month found out I'm 1 point away from type 2 diabetes, putting me in the category of prediabetic. My doc never cared to give me information either or to reach out about anything, I myself had to come on CZcams and do a lot of research and thank goodness CZcams is an amazing tool for research and learning 😮
Everything has changed so drastically and needs to change drastically, with no help it definitely is very overwhelming. Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying using my glucose monitor that I went and got, it's the one touch verio reflect And I'm really loving it's accuracy and reliability so far. I'm pretty much testing myself before and after every meal to get an idea of what I can and cannot eat, And what gives me spikes. For example today, My entire levels were spiked for some reason ever since I woke up. My fasting numbers were at 125 which is high, And I didn't get it to come down until 8pm by eating a ton of a salad mix with a bunch of flaxseed sprinkled in also and it helped bring it down finally. You're right, Doctors need to do better with their patients when it comes to such serious things like this, doing it on our own is scary and overwhelming... Thank you for your amazing video and I wish you nothing but better news from here on forth 🙏🙏🧿🧿🧿
Thank you so much for this message! It's all so hard to go through for sure. Doctors totally need to do better in helping with these issues specifically. Good luck with your journey!
I wish I had been following you when this came out- I too was pre-diabetic at 40 and was hard. I also had to give up Coke so definately feel that one! My weight loss journey was different to yours but i have reversed the diagnosis. I really relate to alot of things you say on your vlogs, thank you!x
Thank you for this comment. Sorry it took me a while to respond to you. I hope you're doing good these days. It's a hard journey to be on.
Hi Dana! You are so brave for sharing your story! I'm in the middle of a lifestyle change too! Take it a day, minute at a time! I love good foods too! As you change your eating habits your taste will change! Thank you for being open & honest!
Thank you Carla! I'm not feeling so brave today with the video going live, but it will be ok. I'm already seeing that I'm not alone in this, and that there are a lot of women out there just like me that need a support system. I hope that we can all help each other in whatever ways we can. I'm already noticing that my tastes are changing; not craving certain things that I used to. Thanks for letting me be honest and being kind in return.
Thank you for sharing your story! I just found out that I have pre diabetes! and it is nice to see someone else that has been through this !
You’re very welcome. Letting myself be vulnerable in sharing this story has connected me with so many women going through the same thing. We help to motivate each other as we make healthy changes. Good luck with your journey. It’ll all be ok. ❤️
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I too have been going through some health issues. I'm already a diagnosed celiac and there is some underlying inflammation issue as well that I am working through with my doctor plus borderline diabetes. Like you, I have also requested a referral to a dietitian. I keep getting told what I can't have, but what can I have?? Being a celiac is hard enough with all of the food restrictions and gluten is in so many things! I feel your frustration as I have experienced the same. You are right though, keep pushing your doctor and get them to hear you and what you have going on.
Thank you so much for sharing. Because of you and changing your Coke intake, I kinda suspected that you may have diabetes issues knowing what I was also experiencing with my own health. And because of you, I have also changed my sugar and carbs intake. :) I never want to call it a 'diet', I prefer to think of it as a lifestyle change -- that is something I can maintain for the rest of my life. Not just a quick fix and then the old habits return. You can do this! I can do this! We got this!!! :)
I have you to thank in part for finding the strength to talk about this today. Knowing that others are struggling in much the same way and need someone to talk to about it is very motivating to me to open up. I hated keeping it to myself and yet it's so hard to open up about it with close friends. Having this outlet keeps it at a distance just enough to allow me some privacy but also see the support that we can offer each other. I hope that I can help you in any way, and maybe we can start to share ideas of what we CAN eat! YES! I think that's where I'm struggling right now. No sugars, no carbs...what else is there besides veggies? Good luck to you and thank you again. You've really been such a good friend to me.
Thank you for sharing and putting yourself out there. We are here for you. There are plenty of us that are going through medical struggles and can absolutely relate to how you are feeling. Stay strong and know that you have got this and are doing the right things to take care of yourself. It’s one step at a time.
Thank you Nichole! That means a lot! It's going good, making better choices every single day. Not perfect, but I really feel like I'm headed in the right direction.
Dana, thank you 🙏 for sharing your story and your courage.
You are so welcome! Your message helps me a lot too! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there. Hopefully, you'll find a good support system on here. Congratulations on the weight loss. Keep up the great work!
had a pit in my stomach when I woke up and suddenly realized what video was going up today! I just know how much it's helped me to talk about it to a few people, so maybe it'll help others too. Thanks for always offering your support too. It means a lot.
Love all your videos! You are so strong and will get through this 💚💚
Thank you so much Samantha!
Bless your heart. I cant even express how much I understand...I've had so many health issues the last few years.
Hi Mary! I've missed seeing your comments! How have you been? Busy with kids out of school I'm sure. Are they all back in school now? How's your business doing? I'm sorry you've had health issues as well. It's no fun. I hope that you're doing ok.
Awww....sending virtual HUGS Dayna!!
Thank you so much!
There is so much conflicting information out there. For diabetes, doctors and others recommended conflicting diets. No carbs or no fats?
Doctors tell you everything is fine and don’t warn you until you have a problem then they give you medicine. Nurse told me blood work was normal but a1c was 5.7 pre diabetic.
Instead of letting me know what to do before i become diabetic they want to just give me meds after it’s so late.
I have taken it on myself to change diet (mostly vegan except fish) and exercise. Hope I can keep up diet.
Thanks for sharing your story.
See, technically, 5.7 is no longer pre-diabetic per what my dad says, and he's a doctor. I agree though that docs could help us avoid that situation all together well before we get to those A1C #'s. Even just knowing would've told me to start watching what I was doing and making changes. Good luck with your journey though. It does take a lot of work, but it's also doable.
My pcp doctor told me not to worry about being pre diabetic. A few months later, I went to see an endo doctor, and she said the same thing. I am disgusted with doctors. I believe that because I'm blk, the expectation is that I will be diabetic so they do nothing.
You very much should worry about being pre-diabetic, so I'm sorry your doctor isn't taking it seriously. Find a new doc and request to get the care you need. It's possible to fix.
Oh sweetie don't feel like people will make fun of you.You made the first move to helping yourself by telling us. I will deffently PRAY for you. My granddaughter is 40 and going through the same thing only she found out she has diabetes number two. She does nothing but cry because she can't get any help either. But I know God will get you two help. So keep that chin up love you my Friend. There is help out there we just have to find it. Thank you sweetie for sharing this and getting it of off your chest. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and Stay Safe. Much Love to my dear and Special Family.❤👭❤
Thank you Joan! I know how your daughter must feel right now. It was so hard not having information in the beginning. Hopefully she can get the help that she needs so much. I can do this with the love and support that people like you give me. Thanks for always being there for me and our family. Much love to you too!
Good luck bringing yourself back to health. Perhaps try a continuous glucose monitor. I understand they work really well to help you understand the effects of food choices on your blood sugar,as well as the effects of exercise to regulate. Thanks for sharing your story - I am one of those dudes you were talking about!
Thanks. It's been a long journey, but I've worked really hard over this past year and I'm no longer within the pre-diabetic range. Yay! I'm still working daily to make healthy changes.
Oh Dayna, I had no idea you were going through that. I completely understand. I've been battling chronic illness for several years that's super embarrassing to talk about. I've always been afraid to talk about it because I didn't want people to think I was making money off my illness. I just have a bad habit of shutting off the camera and not uploading again until I'm "better" again. Thank you for your bravery, your willingness to help others, and for just being you. I truly hope we can meet in person one day. Let's do this together. (Also side note, we have ordered an under the desk fitness bike for me to use when I have one of those all day editing days and can't get out to exercise.)
I'm sorry that you're going through some health issues as well. I understand the need/want to keep it private too. I think telling my family would be the worst part, so luckily only a few sweet family members watch my channel. Cool that you'll be getting a fitness bike for you to use. Let me know what you think of it. I hope that you can get the help needed to get feeling better too. Good luck. And it's ok to take a break if you don't feel well.
Hi Dayna. I am a full blown diabetic it's really hard. Both my parents have it. I'm also on the heavy side and my Aic was more than 10. They started me on this insulin medication that the side effect will make you lose weight because it will curve your appetite. Now I have a son and I always remind him to slow down on carbs because DM is hereditary. Now I try to do walking as much as I can but it's also hard because I work nights and when you get home you are tired and all you want is to lay down and sleep. Just hand in there Dayna take your meds, eat lots of vegetables and fruits always think of your kids you want to stay healthy so you could see them and be with them for a VERY long time. Ask for God's help to give you the will to face this battle. Take care of yourself and stay strong I know you can get thru it 🙏
Hi Josefina, thank you so much for sharing your story with me. Knowing that I'm not alone in this really does help. I hope that we can be there for each other for support too. I'm hoping to get out walking or on the eliptical each day now that my kids are back in school. I just need to start new routines and make them habits. Good luck to you as you go through this as well. Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@daynacreates1105 you're certainly most welcome 😊 stay safe 🙏
I was diagnosed as prediabetic last year. It was very upsetting more than for most since I am slim and usually, I try to eat and avoid excess sugars and processed foods. I thought a moderate lifestyle was enough to keep the diabetic genes I carry under control. Well, I was wrong; I needed. a more strict approach in order to not become diabetic. Take peace in knowing that you are not alone; however, with some diligence and determination, you can turn it around, just like I did. I was put on Metformin too, but after a few months, I decided to just follow my low-carb diet, two meals a day, and increased activity. I can proudly say I succeeded, and I am no longer prediabetic. It is emotional but after the shock, developing a plan and sticking to it will give you your life back. Nobody is more in charge of your body than you. No dr is going to help you enough. For Dr's diabetes has no solution, I am a nurse, and I used to tell my patients that they needed to take their meds because dm is chronic (I am not against meds, but I prefer to use my body's own healing powers first). Well, I got close enough to diabetes to make me realize that I was wrong and that you can reverse prediabetes. You can even reverse diabetes (not cure it). This will become a fight for life to stay away from it. Stay strong, commit and enjoy life.
That's crazy that you were diagnosed and you're in good shape otherwise! Goes to show that it's more about the health of your body than weight! I'm learning to find new motivations through all of this. I'm walking on my treadmill right now as I'm replying to comments. I plant to eat a good lunch then go for a walk. It's making small changes that will make the most difference. I too didn't want to use medication to solve all my problems. I needed to make new routines first otherwise, I'll just revert back after I'm off the meds. I just started a new med this week though, so we'll see how that goes. I just want extra motivation, and if weight loss is that motivation, I'll take it. It's also helping my daughters; Ashley gets on my treadmill every night to "stretch my legs for cheerleading!". She's 9! I love that I was her example to follow. Thanks for your support! Good luck to you too as you continue through your journey.
Hi there! I’m so happy to hear your story. I just got the same results I’m pre diabetic and my dr also hasn’t called me to setup an appt. I seen my results on line too. Im also lost and not sure where to start in changing my daily food intake.
Thank you so much Jessica! I don't really understand why doctors think it's ok to give a diagnosis but not follow up with a treatment plan? It's nuts! I would put a call into your doctor and ask for a follow up appointment. They need to help you come up with a plan going forward. I hope you get the help you need, but I'll keep talking about things that may be working for me to help you out. This is exactly why I knew I needed to talk about all of this...as scary as that is.
Well, I was 222 lbs and my doc put me on metformin as my A1C stayed at/above 7.6. He put me on pravastatin, zetia, as my triglycerides were 1,000 and my cholesterol was 300. My good cholesterol was 20. And I was on 2 bp meds. I discovered Omad intermittent fasting on CZcams. That was nov 2019. Today I am 180 lbs, bp Med cut in half, soon to be off metformin, A1C dropped to 5.9. Cholesterol 150. Good cholesterol is now 38. ALL from eating once a day between 6-8 pm. Find Jason Fung and research intermittent fasting. It will change your life. Get off metformin ASAP
What is wrong with metformin? I hear it is a longevity wonder drug.
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
it's depressing.. I was in my 20s when I got the news... first I was told my blood pressure is like 220/ 120... and thought I should go to the emergency room.. then I was told I was diabetic.. I'm a strong guy, but as a child I stayed with my grandparents who pricked their fingers daily it it traumatized me ... when I was in my 20s both my parents passed, and I moved out on my own.. I was really trying to manage my life alone, and when I got all these bad results I hit like a depression, but I refused to let this news kill me. I reversed all my numbers.. I'm okay now... but I'm careful with what I consume..
I bet that was all really hard! I'm glad you're managing it now though. It's a daily struggle. Keep it up.
Thank you for sharing here some videos that will help you. Dr. ken berry, and Dr. Eric Berg, I was pre-diabetes not anymore just by searching CZcams videos, and Dr. Ken Berry's wife had Hashimoto's disease but doesn't have it anymore she has videos her name is Nisha. Having an open heart to listen to and you can find things that will work for you. You will learn it will work if you work it. a lot of testimony I think it will help.
Thank you. I'm actually no longer Pre-diabetic and my thyroid is now under control! Yay!
I’m a diabetic type 2 and was not told about my pills that I had to take too,but in November of 2020 my doctor was trying to prevent me from going into diabetic style and lose weight , the good thing about losing weight is that I can fit into my clothes that I have been wishing to fit into for about 10 years , I was 306lbs and now at 229lbs and feel good about it. Don’t be discouraged about being a diabetic,you can eat potatoes and rice but in smaller amounts
Wow! Thank you! This motivates me so much! How exciting to lose that weight and fit back into smaller clothes! I can't even imagine! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement too.
Danya thank you for sharing this don't get upset you'll get there doctors are a joke herein England for the last 18monhs you can not get passed the receptionist you just get a call from the GP it's weird I needed my blood pressure checked I had to go to the nurse it was like a military operation let's hope you get the help you need danya.xx❤️
Thanks Pat! I bet its a nightmare to try to get appointments over there for you. Good luck with all your appointments.
I’m a type 2 diabetic as well myself and I’m 18
Type 2 Diabetes is no joke! I hope you are ok going through all that.
Hi my name is Stacy Clemmons I also have Hashimoto thyroid disease and just found out about my thyroid problem
While scary at first, thyroid issues are pretty common and easy to maintain. Good luck as you start to monitor it. Thanks for joining us here.
Oh honey….so many of us want to hug you and or are in or have been in your same position. I also like chips….I switched to harvest crisp snap pea chips…they have flavors….I also stopped drinking soda….had to make myself walk everyday and try for 10,000 steps. I also stick my self for blood glucose often and because I have high blood pressure monitor that. You are not alone. I also lost my mother recently…its hard….an yes we should have the conversation….and help each other. I will put this on instagram too…..hugs….
Not sure why I didn’t see your message!
Maybe we chatted over on Instagram so that’s why i didn’t think to check here. Either way, thank you. I feel like I’m doing mostly good with it all. I’ve almost complete cut soda out, but tend to want a little each day. Like less than 6 oz, so that’s an improvement. Coke Zero too. I’ve almost completely cut starchy carbs; potatoes, bread/sandwiches, chips, crackers. I still eat fries though, need to cut that craving somehow. I’m doing really good at adding veggies for lunch and dinner. Not eating past 8pm too. It’s a lot easier and harder than I thought. But! I have a pair of shorts that I almost donated during the summer because they were too tight. They almost fall off me now. I need to check my other shorts to compare. Thanks for your kind words and support. I need to walk more like you do. I tell myself to every morning, but never do. That needs to change. I’m sorry about your mom. It’s so hard to lose a parent. We celebrated my dads birthday today, his first without my mom here.
@@daynacreates1105 great job! Keep it up…..I can now put on some skirts without unzipping them….but now worry they will fall off in the middle of the store or something lol. I still eat some things occasionally. But limit how often and how much. It was so hard to make walking a routine. For me that was key….to force myself until it became routine…..and build up to 10000 steps. I have worn out one [pair of brooks and had to get new ones….and probably need a toe separator thing so my bunions don’t come back……but I am determined. You can do this! And yes….Dad had to celebrate their wedding anniversary without her today…..
