Was recently diagnosed and I've been doing some research.
From the research I've been doing, some people refer to it as something like a "warning" that can magically go away and everything is normal again if you take care of yourself. However, others refer to it as full diabetes (or Stage 1) and taking care of yourself makes it "dormant" which implies it's there forever.
So I ask again, what's the truth on this condition?
Type 1 diabetes only accounts for about 5%-10% of people with diabetes and isn't caused by being a fatass. Not much toy can do about it and it almost always appears in early childhood or during teen years.
The other 90%+ of diabetes is from fatties who think that drinks like sweet tea, soda and orange juice are real food. It is reversible through diet and exercise.
Just do intermittent fasting and avoid sugar for like a year to be safe, OP.

it happens before diabetes.

>reversible Too bad it can't be cured. "Reversible" sounds like going through life with a bandaid on you and making sure nothing touches it. I hope it gets cured in the near future, but I doubt it.
I'm aware of that, lol.

You obviously don't understand what diabetes is

But type 2 diabetes is reversible, though. "Curable" is playing semantics when once literally all of your symptoms are gone.
When you have normal blood glucose levels, which can be achieved through weight loss, diet and exercise, then the diabetes ceases to be a factor.

Even if you take care of yourself, it's still there forever.

Also, to add context. My Hemoglobin A1C level was 5.8%. It's low level pre-diabetes, but I am still concerned. I've changed my diet already and ran every day resulting in me losing 9 pounds in like 10 days.
I was scared that losing that amount of weight in a short period of time was a sign of the real diabetes because "sudden weight loss" is a diabetes symptom.
I hear mixed opinions on keto. Some say it helps, others say it contributes to insulin resistance in the body.
