Blood glucose 95 fasting in march. however i drink 20oz bottles of regular soda 1x or 2x a day. how long before prediabetes on avg sets in?

Who knows?: A fasting blood glucose of 95 is normal. But if u drink soda with sugar and don't watch what you eat that could change. You take Lipitor (atorvastatin) so u probably have high cholesterol. Switch to diet soda and eat healthy to decrease the chance you develop pre-diabetes or diabetes. Good luck!

Drinking: Soda will not give you diabetes. It is very unhealthy for you. But will not give you diabetes If you have diabetes in the family then you may be predisposed to it. So eat healthier. No soda

Prediabetes: Soda itself will not create a prediabetic or diabetic state. Insulin lack characterizes type 1 diabetes. Relative insulin resistance (and even high insulin output after a carb load) characterizes type 2 DM, and prediabetes. Excess body wt and slow metabolism are usual with prediabetes and most type 2 DM. Be trim, be active, eat complex carb, lean protein, modest fat. Have a soda alternative.
