Hi! I am 38 years old and just recently had my labs come back that put me in the prediabetic range, so now I'm trying to figure out where to start. So far I have been walking more and cutting down on junk food, which is super hard for me. I love my sugar and carbs!! But I am doing it!
I went to a support group here at work today for diabetes/prediabetes. It was great to talk to others that are going through the same things I am going through and get advice. The lady there also gave me some extra test strips and a basic glucose meter from her last order because she knew how hard it is right now trying to find them. I think my co-worker was shocked when I showed up with 50 test strips! LOL
I'm looking for a community online where they have the same issues as me, but I cannot seem to find one. I'm wondering if I should get a basic glucose meter to monitor my blood sugar levels. I also want to see if adjusting my meal times will help with my blood sugars. I'm having trouble finding information specifically about prediabetes management.
Any advice or info you all can give would be GREAT!! Thanks in advance!
