I am pre diabetic. My problem is that I drink too much wine and do not get off of my behind often enough

As a doc once told me; Thee is no such thing as a pre-diabetic or borderline diabetes. He said that you either have it or you don't.

@Shermie
Correct. My Dr. said the same thing
However she said the term is used as a warning. When A1C starts to creep up patients are advised to monitor sugar intake and incorporate an exercise program to avoid Diabetes. A diagnostic tool to delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes
Take care.

Thanks.
So it's the A1C levels that could trigger it. plus the fact that if it runs in your family, that could bring it on also!

Dairy milk does not contain ADDED sugars. At least, not the whole milk. I always wonder about the excipients in skim milk.

Lactose is a sugar, naturally occurring in milk. I have a friend who is lactose intolerant, in a bad way. He will use Lactaid milk in his coffee (it has somehow been rendered free of that sugar). PS, any "-ose" suffix on an ingredient always indicates a sugar...

Except "dominose".

?? You gotta get up off of it to fetch the wine, no? Just go fetch more often, and a bit less each "fetching"!
