Thanks so much for this - I wondered why my friends and I ( late 60's, early 70's) are all commenting about our elevated blood sugar levels and are being told we are "pre-diabetic"! Most of us are pretty fit, eat the farmers' market, barely drink and eat sweets on rare occasions. Short of going completely KETO - what can we do, or this just a fact of. life at our age?

This is important. We usually use the term insulin resistance rather than glucose intolerance, which means we don't forget the vital role saturated fat in the diet plays in developing diabetes. The buildup of saturated fats in the body leads to reduced insulin efficacy, which then leads to pre-diabetes and diabetes (Type 2). All women at menopause age should be tested as this condition can be reversed with lifestyle changes pretty quickly.
