Someone in my family was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic, but ate just as lavishly at Thanksgiving. I don't actually blame him, but I blame his doctor. It's obvious from discussions with him that he doesn't understand how important it is to take pre-diabetes seriously. Of course, it's also very difficult to grapple with making those serious changes after 50 years of not worrying about it.
- maxerickson 11y agoI occasionally wonder if people that say that the doctor said it was their metabolism are poorly characterizing a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (which is at least somewhat related to pre diabetes). I guess more severe language might help, but it also seems like prediabetes should set off alarms. Maybe something like 'weight related health crisis' would work better.
