Mighty Health community post by Jo Melton

Amy W hi Jo Ann, I'm Amy. About prediabetes... when I was diagnosed with prediabetes, my A1c but lower number. I had a doctor then who disregarded everything that came up. Along with that, I had high blood pressure and a fatty liver. His words: I'm not worried about you! You're healthy as a horse! Um wait what? How nonchalant he was about the health problems that were well underway caused me to minimize them myself. Obviously he's not my doctor anymore. And now here I sit with something called NASH Which is more serious than just fatty liver and is then very step below liver disease or liver failure, I guess. I now have stage two chronic kidney disease, which I just found out about. Didn't even know I had stage one. I'm over 100 pounds overweight. My point in hijacking your post was this- it's great that you are starting this journey now when you can actually do something concrete about it and it will be a little easier for you although I don't mean to minimize your struggles. Please continue to be vigilant in your diet and also exercise and lowering your sugar. I wish someone had told me that. If you don't, one day, you will wake up and possibly be in my shoes. I am still on a journey in this way, like really recently, so I really don't know any advice to give other than that. I wish you so much luck and I hope to keep seeing you around.
