My Doctor Says My Blood Sugar Is Borderline High. How Can I Lower It Naturally And Avoid Medication?

When Dr. Elwar warned me about my borderline high blood sugar at 43, fear hit hard despite my healthy habits. I confided in my cousin Kael, a nutritionist, who pushed me to walk daily and swap sugary foods for healthier options like berries and zucchini noodles. Though I slipped up sometimes, small changes added up—better energy, clearer skin. My aunt’s diabetes scare and uncle’s kidney failure deepened my resolve. At my six-month

check-up, my numbers normalized, and I felt alive again. Inspired, I started a blog, “Still In My Control,” sharing my journey. It resonated, leading to a community walk with 32 attendees. My vulnerability connected me to others, helping them face their health fears. I’m not perfect, but every step toward health builds momentum. If you’re struggling, know you’re not too far gone—small changes can rewrite your story and inspire others.
