A crisis can change our lives just as heavy rain can change a peaceful landscape into a waterfall.  We have two choices in these situations, wait for the rain to stop or walk through the rain to find shelter. That was how I felt when my doctor told me my AIC showed I was pre-diabetic and prescribed Metformin for me. Sometimes our decision to actively make a choice or passively not making a choice can decide our path/s.  I decided to lose some weight or the next step for me would be insulin.  While I am not in peak shape or my ideal weight, I lost enough weight to have a stable AIC and stopped the Metformin. I want to help you to make healthful choices about your life, and health.    Juliet

This is an educational forum with information from peer reviewed articles, professional organizations and in time written and/or oral interviews with Endocrinologists on the treatment, effects, symptoms and preventive measures for people who are pre-diabetic and those diagnosed with diabetes.  I will upload a new a minimum of twice monthly.
