I have been "labeled" Dysmetabolic or Metabolic Syndrome X since about 2001. My thyroid is heading south and I take levothyroxine, I also have Fibromyalgia so exercise is not the easiest thing in the world for me. My fasting numbers seemed to hover at pre-diabetic for years. I have controlled high blood pressure. My cholesterol is low. My last a1c was a little high the last time my primary care had taken it but he was not concerned. My first child was over 9 pounds and my great grandmother on my mother's side and my father were or are diabetic.

Numbers are not really what concern me, but it's more about how I feel.
