Pre diabetic support group
Last year, my blood work up showed that my glucose level was 109. The number raised a flag with my doctor as my mother has type 2 diabetes. I received some information on carb counting and the "great plate" and for about three months did very well. But a year ago, I fell off the band wagon and haven't been able to climb back on. A couple days ago I received a letter from my insurance company. Insurance will cover the cost of a pre diabetic support program. I have applied for an online program. It involves three months of weekly meetings and several monthly meetings. I will have a support group and health coach. The program will help me stay accountable. I am grateful for this support. On the positive side, I am informed about clean eating, I have my sugar addiction under control at the present, I am counting carbs. I am motivated My husband eats the healthy food I prepare along with other not-so-healthy treats. His sweet tooth tempts me to indulge in foods loaded with carbs. I really would prefer to not have cookies, chips and the like in the pantry. It's hard for me to stay strong. I hope I stay motivated as I feel so much better with more energy.
