Purpose of this blog: Welcome. If you are reading this then perhaps you are like me, one of the 57 million Americans diagnosed with Pre-diabetes. I'm developing this blog to document the transformtion process of reversing the condition. The Beginning: I was diagnosed in July 2011 as being Pre diabetic following a failed glucose tolerance test when my A1C exceeded the normal range. The primary care recommended medication but I opted for a change of lifestyle including diet and exercise. After some modest diet changes I've seen no improvement. My latest dr visit confirmed this so now I'm making further adjustments that I'll document here. Starting off in December 2011, I am a 43 year old male weighing 200 pounds.
