Health scare at 35

My Experience: 2 years back I was detected Pre-diabetic. Cut down consumption of white sugar to zero. Cut down on any food that has White Sugar in it (Biscuits, Ice Cream, Desserts, cold drinks, etc.). Became conscious of reading ingedrients/Contain's part when I buy any packed food. Developed habit of walking 8K steps or burning 150Kcal after dinner. My glycemic levels are now normal. I am no longer a pre-diabetic. This can be managed with active lifestyle. White sugar is a poison. Rely on Fruits to fulfill the glucose levels of your body. PS: After 2 years I've started consuming food having white sugar occasionally ( on Diwali or Holi and that too in limits). Never restricted myself from consuming naturally sweet fruits (Banana, Mango, Apple, etc.).

1. It is not something new, don’t panic 2. It is fine , just accept it , work on it and get it to acceptable number 3. Try yoga with proper guru 4. Doctor do ensure u panic, relax 5. Thing long term , 10 yrs/15 yrs and look at what can u do or improve 6. There is plant called insulin plant , try eating it daily ( never tried this )

It can totally be reversed if you follow good lifestyle change... Happened with me too. Consult a good doctor & follow everything he says. Good Luck 👍

Intermittent Fasting

I discovered I was pre diabetic when I was 27 along with a bunch of other health issues. Tl,dr - it's reversible - Needs one to be conscious about diet and some moderate physical activity (not necessarily gyms but walks for 1 hour in the morning or exercising for 30 mins for 4 days a week). Intermittent fasting of 12 hours also helps to control in short term. It's still a on off journey fo me because I have a tendency to stress eat but even if you miss routine for a few days, key is to start it back again.

India is diabetes capital, it’s due to food we eat. Watch out

My only suggestion is please be scientific when if you want to solve this. People would ask you to have some herbs or do yoga (that is just a cardio) Instead what you should do is 1. Diet 2. Most importantly strength training You have too few muscles and thus less metabolism. As you age you muscle start to decrease and eventually you won't be able daily activities like standing up from a chair. Just Google and use healthline website or any other scientific website as main source of information

Thank you guys for your support. It gives me strength to know that this is reversible. I was in such shock that I didn't even Google before I posted here. I am noting all your suggestions. I have been a lean guy all my life and have never been to the gym. I do play serious cricket with my team every weekend though. But I started going to the gym from yesterday. I am going to control food intake and stop sugar intake as well. Once again thank you all sooooo much. This support means a lot

@Dwight_Schrute try Sugar.fit

I am 27 and i am pre diabetic :(

I am not much sure, I have read somewhere. the medicine mafia and the lobby has pull down the threshold value so that more more people will come under diabetic category. once someone started taking that medicine, its life long addiction.

Type 2 is Fully Reversible and Try Fitterfly and Follow them for 1 year as a P1

I detected mine in sep 2020 at age of 31. One advice: tell your wife. You need to be on strict diet. Without your wife knowing it will be difficult for you to manage.

Parents being diabetic increases one's risk, but doesn't mean that it is inevitable. Good lifestyle, discipline and consistency is the only solution. Ensure you cut down on simple carbs sharply till you decrease your HBA1C levels. Replace them with more protein and fibre (sabzi, cooked and raw). Be active, you should sweat! Focus on getting good quality sleep. Stay away from processed food, desserts, alcohol, outside food as much as possible. Prioritise protein when you go out.

Control your tongue and things will fall into place

Yes he is right I had a same thing of being pre diabetic I have done diet and lifestyle changes it is doing wonders for me

Start strength training that is the only thing besides diet control that will help you

I got to know that I had hypertension when I was 25. From then I am taking food as medicine not as an enjoyment. Now I am in the best shape and health of my life.

First of all , Stop worrying! If it's inheritance you can't stop it from taking over but all you can do is taking care of your health to secure a healthy future . There are lot of techniques where you can control your blood sugars. Examples like : walking for atleast 15-20mins after every meal , Soaking rice or any sort of grains before cooking , Having methi seeds water early in the morning , consuming single polished rice etc etc. The above may sound silly but they are very effective when included in daily routine and when it's followed as a ritual you will see good results. You can overcome this , It's ok!

Unfortunately in our corporate life, it just toxically takes first priority in our lives. We have to constantly remind ourselves, that however hard it is we have to balance life. For me, it's Physical health, mental health, family and loved ones health always higher priority than work!
