Pre-diabetes

Pre-diabetes is a "pain in the ass." To be clear, pre-diabetes is a medical condition with its own classification, not just a symptom. Thus, any query about existing medical conditions will require a formal disclosure.

Living with pre-diabetes is, of course, no different than pre-pre-diabetes times (i.e., no medication). In fact, no change is really necessary until it's just too late. Taking pre-diabetes seriously, however, is all about anxiety.

People with pre-diabetes live from blood test to blood test. The interval of several months is one of pure uncertainty. Life-style and dietary revisions are unnerving and add to the uncertainty. Varying new symptoms may appear or disappear. All the while, there is no way to determine if any symptom is related to pre-diabetes or diabetes.

Actually, nearly any symptom or ailment can be attributed to pre-diabetes or diabetes. It's all about blood sugar or glucose. Too high, and the body goes berserk. Then, there's the matter of age. Senior citizens are more likely to develop full-blown diabetes as the body's normal functions begin to degenerate.

To summarize, pre-diabetes is a "pain in the ass" and a living hell. Anyone diagnosed with pre-diabetes should do everything possible to reduce blood sugar because diabetes is real hell with no way out.
