By the way, for those of you diagnosed with pre-diabetes, you CAN lower your glucose with diet and exercise, or at least Ohioboy did (for the 2nd time - we got laze after the first time and started eating potato salad, choc chip cookies etc.).
This time (had a physical in December and got the glucose meter & strips along with the diagnosis of pre-diabetes), he was retired here in TV, where it is easier for most of us to get or keep fit - he likes to bike, swim laps at the sports pool and we're starting to play pickleball. No time yet for tennis, but it's on the horizon. He's also lost about 10 lbs (pretty effortlessly, but then he's a guy - don't get me started about that)!
We've been pretty good about eating healthy and THIS TIME plan to KEEP eating that way. He just had a f/u visit where they looked at all his meter readings, and he is doing great, doesn't even have to do it every day, only every 2 or 3 weeks to make sure he's staying on track.
