Wow, it is amazing that you did nothing and it came down so drastically.
I’m thinking of it this way. I’ve been wanting to get in shape especially losing my beer gut for years. Now I have an extra incentive. I was at 200 lbs in Mid December. I’m at 186.8 today. If I can get down to 180, losing 10% of my body weight, I’m thinking I should be fine. Also I think I need to maintain the changes in my diet with occasional cheating when I get down to 180. Unfortunately two of my favorite foods are pizza and Chinese.
My doctor talked about putting me on medications. No way!

Second test was 5.8. Maybe I’m being a little unrealistic but after cutting way back on carbs, losing 30 pounds and doing a lot of walking, I was hoping for a more normal non-prediabetic reading.
But then again it was just about three months from my first reading to my second and I was eating the wrong stuff for a lifetime. Just wondering what other people experiences were in getting A1C improvements and how long it took.
