Pre Diabetes

[GRIM]

So I've been pre diabetic for ages, it's creeped up to the point any higher I'll be diabetic.

I eat healthy, very little sugars do everything right yet no improvement.

Anyone else here have experience with it? Tips appreciated even though I've tried a ton of things might be a great thread for if anyone else is in same boat

Not there GRIM but I know diet plays a big role when your pre diabetic but it sounds like your there. Trying to stay active as well but I know you have a routine so that is helping as well. I don't know your stature but I know getting down to a specific weight for your height but most of us who carry muscle are considered over weight according to the BMI index.....which I consider a joke. When I was on the FD, retired now, we would have twice a year body analysis done. Things like flexibility tests, vertical jump, HR analysis after strenuous activity, agility tests, etc. At the times they performed the tests they would reference the BMI. I was always around 10%BF but according to the scale I was considered obese because of my muscle mass. Anyways, I digress. Have you considered Metformin? I know many that use it to keep insulin sensitivity in check.

Haven't tried it as of yet but debated it

I'm far from fat I have veins everywhere
6'2-3 224 this am

Bf% unsure but definitely not hi

I also take supplements for it, and semaglutide as well which is supposed to be a treatment for diabetes. No luck.

Maybe just genes

Kinda hard to believe that the Sema has not made much of an impact. How long have you incuded in your regiment?

Maybe research Metformin?

I've gone the metformin route in the past and had decent results with it. Controlled my sugar levels with carb intake, but I was in a show prep regimen, so my caloric intake wasn't a normal one. It's definitely worth the application if you're taking in higher carb meals. But, I've never seen you indulge the carbs at meals.
