Sounds pretty similar to my story. But getting older is better than the alternative.

My numbers are all good, except for fasting blood sugar which is usually around 115 or so. I forget the exact number, but in the pre-diabetes range. I'm not carrying any extra weight at all though. In fact as I try to eat only healthy foods, I've been worried about losing too much weight. I'm about 140 and 6'2". I'd rather be 160.

My AC1 are actually in the good range, which is confusing, and when I have a non-fasting blood sugar test done, they are actually in the "normal" range. Weird how the blood sugar goes up when I'm hungry and down when I have food in my belly. Seems bass ackwards.

I also walk a lot more since starting to wear a Fitbit. I average 12,000 to 14,000 per day.

I read a statistic that one in ten adults have diabetes, and one in three have pre-diabetes, but most don't know it. I wonder if that's always been the case and we are more aware now?
