Primal Perks 
Movie – “The Magic Pill” on Netflix. I too was prediabetic at 6.1 ac1. My doctor said, don’t worry, we can put you on meds. With the help of my good friend, a Paleo devotee, I lost 50 lbs and brought my a1c at last count to 5.4. The primal/ Paleo life style saved my life. More energy, regular exercise, knowledge of how to really control my sugar addiction – life saving. And people still scoff. Oh well…. mores the pity for them. I’m sold.
