Hello @caridan26,

First, I want to tell you that it is completely understandable to feel worried and stressed about a situation like this, especially when it comes to the health of a loved one.Pre-Diabetes can be manageable and in many cases reversible with changes in lifestyle, as they are already doing with low carbohydrate diet and exercise.

The blood glucose levels of your boyfriend, being 124 mg/dl on an empty stomach, are in the pre-diabetes range (100-125 mg/dl), according to the standards of the American Diabetes Association.The positive thing is that they are taking proactive measures towards a healthier lifestyle, which is fundamental at this stage.These actions can not only help revert pre-diabetes, but also contribute to better general health.

It is important to note that each person is different, and the response to diet and exercise can vary.Some people manage to reverse their pre-diabetes completely with these changes, while others may need additional adjustments or medication, depending on several factors such as genetics, weight, and other health aspects.

The wait to see the specialist may seem long, but they are on the right path when seeking professional help.The doctor may offer a more specific guidance based on their full medical history, perform the necessary tests, and possibly suggest a personalized management plan.

Meanwhile, continuing with healthy habits is key.Balanced food, rich in vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats, along with regular physical activity, are fundamental aspects.It is also important to monitor glucose levels as planned, but try not to become obsessed with daily figures;Instead, focus on long -term trends and improvements in general well -being.

Talking about these issues can be difficult, especially if you feel that there will be no understanding.

The most important thing: consult with a specialist doctor and be calm, take action if pre-diabetes or diabetes is confirmed, the figures you comment at all are not alarming.

Courage, they are taking the right steps and with time, effort and support, it is possible to handle this situation effectively.

Thank you very much ♡ I have cried even of helplessness for everything that is happening has done much goodI just hope that this Sunday has improved its blood glucose range and that I can reverse it and try to be healthy, God help us, thank you very much again for giving me encouragement and information ♡

@caridan26 of nothing, for that we are here, on glucose levels, I recommend that you look for more information in the forum, you will see that glucose levels vary greatly inside the day and is normal.

To give you an example, look at the following issue, you will see that several members of the forum have shared the glucose graphs in 24 hours, you will realize that it varies a lot.

Now, the important thing is that the average glucose in 3 months is at a healthy level, that is, you do not worry in excess at this time, inform you well and especially, visit the doctor!

https://www.diabetesforo.com/discusion/13988/compartar-nuestras-graficas-del-monitor-continuo/p1

Share our graphs of the continuous monitor
Well, I have thought that as some have free or dexcom that measure glycemia continuously that we could put the daily graphics to see how we are going ... I do not say every day but occasionally and so...

The overweight makes the pancreas work well.When it goes down to its normal weight, with an IMG below 24.9, it will be totally healthy.
It has no diabetes, a point value of 124 is not relevant.You have to go to the doctor and make a patient profile.

Not as as a cure ... Remision is called.How did glycosylated hemoglobin come out?With that only value of 126 there is not much information.Here the ideal is diet, exercise and medical advice.If you return to unhealthy food, the pre -diabetes condition returns to return.

@caridan26, for what I have read you are both overweight, but your analytics is normal.Your boyfriend's is in prediabetes and would have to lose weight to normalize.
I believe that all you have to do is low hydrates diet, and exercise,, even if it's just walking.If you get an adequate weight, the problem will be finished.And continue with a healthy diet, even if there is one day of prize.

I would test me the glycosilada.Then it would be seen whether it is diabetic or not

Update today was removed again in the blood glucose on an empty stomach and from 124 under 85, it was with diet or carbohydrates and exercise all week (it does not take medicine)

I went out with 79 glucose this time, last time I had 78, I do not know if the variation of 1 % is worrying or not, we are still waiting for the specialist in a few days they already serve us

That you are not diabetic.ID to a psychologist, it is what you need

He is taking out the things, and that is not normal, what a drama for anything!

You are not diabetic despite having overweight.Of course, it will be good to download 30 kilos, but I repeat, you are not diabetic, and your boyfriend is in pre diabetes because he also has to lower a lot of kilos, more than you still, if he goes down the kilos that have plenty of his pre diabetes will disappear, because he is not diabetic either.

You are making a drama for anything, stop doing analysis to see glucose, you don't need any control.People who are not diabetic do not need controls for diabetics.

You are obsessed, I don't know if your boyfriend too, but I agree with the companion, what you need is a psychologist to treat that obsession, also unfounded, and a nutritionist who puts a diet to lose weight, and that's it.

I already answered your other question where I explained the types of studies and the difference between normal results, prediabetes and diabetes.
Your results are normal, your boyfriend's are prediabetes.
It could have insulin resistance, maybe.
He is overweight?

Diet low in hydrates, exercises (walking 30 min 5 times a week helps a lot), but better go with a doctor.

Also, quantosse and glycosylated hemoglobin could be tested to take it to the doctor in their appointment

If the quotes in your country / city take a long time, you can look for a private doctor.

What country are you from?
