I have just been diagnosed with diabetes and wow.......I do need to lose a few pounds and start eating better which both are on the go now but this is a bit overwhelming. How much does stress play a part in this whole control of diabetes?

Subject: Can I make pre-diabetes go away?
I am a pre-diabetic. I have lost 22 pounds. I eat every 3 hours, 2 fruit a day, lots of vegetables and balanced small portioned lunch and breakfast and dinner. I go to the gym 4-6 days a week. Will this make the pre-diabetes go away?

Has anyone been on a diabetic medication called Actose? What were your results? My dr. prescribed but after reading the side effects I did not take it. I am doing okay on the Metphormin.

Using a continuous glucose sensor to see where your blood sugars are at what times of day. This can help with med regimen and determine your sugar hi and lo, all which can make you tired. Ask your doc or go to Mini Med web site.
