+1. This mirrors my journey exactly. The Prediabetic and discussion here is so valuable.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Prediabetic and scared -.
To answer BenResearch_OR: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to JessicaH_TX. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Prediabetic and scared -.

Slightly tangential to Prediabetic and scared - but MeganSA_TX reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
