I am not, but my Mom just recently was and my Dad got into the same boat around 2003. I was also told I was pre-diabetic by my insurance underwriter when I was trying to get life insurance for my family.

I'm really helping my folks manage their diabetes. My Dad is now at the point where he's got his readings around 120-140 after eating--that's great!

Insulin resistance can happen to you if you're not careful.

Luckily, I've not only lost weight, but got my HA1c & my fasting sugar in excellent range.
