My doctor diagnosed me with “pre-diabetes” last week and told me I needed to eat better and exercise. Does that mean I will eventually get diabetes and take insulin shots for the rest of my life?
Pre-diabetes means you are “at-risk” for developing Type 2 diabetes, but the results of your blood test do not quite put you in the category for “diabetes.” If you are a pre-diabetic, you have a unique opportunity to make significant lifestyle changes, such as eating healthier and exercising more, so that you may avoid the diagnosis of Diabetes. Call your doctor for more information about diabetes or visit the American Diabetes Association website for tips to prevent Diabetes (http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp). Q: For the past few weeks, I have been going to the bathroom and urinating almost every hour but when I go, I don’t produce a lot of urine. I went to my doctor and he put me on medicine for a large prostate. Why would my prostate have anything to do with me having to go to the bathroom all the time?
