    I’m not in San Antonio, but just some advice from someone who had the same issue - in the fall of 2019, through a wellness program sponsored by my employer, my bloodwork came back as pre-diabetic. The wellness program has a diabetes prevention program but you have to meet with a doctor once a quarter, do bloodwork, and meet with a nutritionist at least twice (which helped immensely once I met with the surgeon - I didn’t have to do 6 months of work with their office because of it). When they set up my first doctor visit, I specifically asked for a non-judgmental doctor because I didn’t want to spend the entire time lectured about my weight. What I am really trying to say - look for PCPs that may specialize in pre-diabetic or diabetic care and read the reviews for them. The doctor they gave me for this program (it had to be at a certain clinic to qualify) was fantastic and so great to work with. It is always a struggle when you meet a doctor for the first time when you are worried all they will see is your weight. (PS - I got my A1C down to the lowest pre-diabetic point - 5.6 - prior to surgery and post-op it is now 4.9 😊. I’m about to graduate out of the prevention program - my doctor just wants to check it another time or two and then I’ll be released.)

    Thank you Crick! That really helps❤️❤️ Congratulations on your progress 😁😁
