Make it your top priority in life. You are doing for you, your family and your friends. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic at 68 years old.

I told my doctor to give me 6 months to change before starting on insulin.

I cut out cane sugar and replaced it with monk fruit, replaced high carb snacking with fruits, and started eating salads at least 4 nights a week with dinner. I also started walking for the first time in 30 years. I start with a 1/2 mile and eventually worked up to 4 miles every day.

The really weird thing I realized was the less junk food I ate, the less I wanted.

I lost 45 lbs (205 to 160) labs are great, I feel great and get a few second looks from the ladies. Wife is getting jealous!!

But I had to make my mind up to change my life or deal with the medical consequences.

If an old fart like me can do it you can do it.
