I wish you improving Health.
I hope your Diabetes stays in check.
My Wife has been told she is Pre Diabetic and they are monitoring her A1C (?). She isn’t adjusting her Diet as much as she should, but I ceased nagging her about it when all it did was get her mad at me. LOL.
Take Care...
If your wife follows the ADA diet plan it’s assured that she will become a full fledged t2d. No doubt about that. It’s baked into the plan.
Look up ‘Jason Fung’ on youtube. And the internet.
I wish her luck.
My diabetes is better than it has been. My A1C has run 5.0 or less for years now. But it was my out of control insulin levels (that oddly enough no one ever checks, hmmm) that were causing my giant belly and obesity issues. Protein will generate an insulin response, just not as much of one as a carb load. I never realized that and was eating WAY too much protein for my age in particular. I eat a lot more olive oil and pork belly now for calories. Along with green bean vinaigrette. I’ve got a yen for that now. Green bean vinaigrette with chunks of pork belly is just this side of heaven IMHO.
