[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a joke? If not, you need to see a therapist.[/quote]

This is the attitude that led me to prediabetes and hormonal issues in the first place. Doctors look at me and assume I’m fine and assume I have good lifestyle habits. It’s common among those of Asian descent to be slim and still be prone to having fat around the organs and be at higher risk for Type II diabetes. I don’t need a therapist, I need advice about how to work further on my health. [/quote]
np.  +1 to you.  I am in the same boat (so to speak).  Non Asians don't get it.

Here's some info for you non Asians

I was just like you.    Even when I was 95lbs (I'm 5' and thin boned), I had a higher A1C.  My endocrinologist said she has so many thin  Asian patients

Have you taken a blood test to check your A1C?  I check it at least once per year.

I have been able to control it with diet and exercise. My highest A1C was 5.9; lowest is 5.6.

I don't know how old you are but the older you get, the harder it will be to control it. I am 53, and I have to exercise and diet even more to maintain a <6.0 A1C level.

I think Asian females especially aren't good about lifting weights.  I've been trying to do a bit more strength training  these days.  And cardio. [/quote]
