I turn 66 this month (September 2024) and my YEARLY Medicare bloodwork for this year 2024 said I am pre-diabetic.

(1) Any TIPS to share?

(2) What has been YOUR CHALLENGES?

My mom, deceased since 2018 in her eighties was an insulin using diabetic.

*** Lol, missing my weekly ice-cream and cake ***

My Medicare doctor who is leaving her practice NEXT MONTH (October 2024), suggests exercise and mediterraen diet.

I have also been doing ALOT of reading and HOPEFUL to reverse this by the time my 2025 Medicare bloodwork rolls around.

*** I would luv to hear about YOUR JOURNEY and anything else you want to SHARE ***

Thanks,

I had a friend that used the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program coverage and it really turned things around for her.  And there is NO out of pocket cost if you use a Medicare approved supplier- you can also do it virtually.

Here is the coverage, the details and how you find an approved supplier.

Medicare.gov - Diabetes Prevention Program Coverage  

Good Luck - changes to ones patterns is always seems harder the older we get.  A little help might just make it a bit easier.
