You are in midlife and your health care practitioner has told you your blood sugar is too high and you are now in the prediabetic range.  You have been aware that you have been gaining weight, especially around your middle, but you just thought it was a normal occurrence in midlife.

Maybe you have been eating a little too many sweets, but life has been challenging lately.  You’ve been busy and grabbing a snack that gives you energy is so easy.  Plus you get a little mental lift from it, too.

Or having a some cookies or chips in the evening is the way you can relax.  Perhaps it’s a glass of wine or two or three.

But the bottom line is this.  You have a diagnosis of prediabetes.  You are scared of becoming diabetic, having to take insulin the rest of your life, and experience the health issues that diabetes can cause.

That was my story four years ago.  I had gained weight, especially around my middle.  The roll of fat was so disturbing for me.  I hated wearing a bathing suit or shorts.  I knew something was off, because every year for my physical, my fasting blood sugar was slowly creeping up.  It was close to 100, but not over 100, which is the number practitioners use as a cut off to tell them you are prediabetic.

I begged to have a hemoglobin A1C test done.  That is a test that reveals the amount of glucose in your body over the course of 2-3 months. 

Reluctantly, the doctor ordered the test, once she found out my close family members were Type two diabetics or prediabetics.  The results came back that I was prediabetic.  It was quite a shock!

But I resolved to reverse the prediabetes just as quickly as I could.  I did NOT want to become a diabetic.  So that’s what I did.  I changed the way I ate and with some help from a coach, I reversed it within 6 months.  I also lost that weight around my middle which was an added bonus!

Now I want to help YOU reverse this condition, too.  I know what works and can teach you what you need to do to lower your blood sugar back down.  You will not have to give up all pleasurable eating, I promise.  You will also learn how to handle cravings and urges.

I am Jane Springer, certified life and wellness coach, and I want to help you feel good in your body and avoid serious health problems by reversing your prediabetes.   I’d love to work with you.  Let’s do this together, shall we?
