Pre-diabetes- Do You Know the Signs?

To be prediabetic means you have a higher than normal sugar level. 

Blurred vision, fatigue, excess thirst and/or hunger, frequent urination.

Some symptoms are similar to high blood pressure. 

Knowing your family’s history really helps. Health diagnoses is one thing we can break when discussing generational cycles. 

If you had gestational diabetes while pregnant, you and your child are at a higher risk of developing diabetes and you are encouraged to check with your doctor every three years to make sure you are ok. 

Sleep apnea is another risk factor for prediabetes.

Fit and Fierce is a health and wellness segment dedicated to discussing all facets of wellness that impact our community.  Fit and Fierce does not shy from tough conversations and seeks to provide realistic solutions. Fit and Fierce is hosted by health coach Beverly K. Johnson. 

About Coach Bev:

Having been a Zumba instructor for years, Beverly K. Johnson knew her influence included more than fitness training when a candid conversation with an exercising client revealed that women in caretaker roles often forget about themselves. She named her new motivational fitness business Genesys Fitness because it signified a rebirth for the often “forgotten” woman: the divorce’, caretaker, and empty-nester.  

The NYC Journal highlighted Beverly in 2022 for being in the Top 30 Female Entrepreneurs to Look Out For. Beverly specializes in creating, educating, and implementing motivational wellness routines into the everyday woman’s life. She has been featured in Sheen Magazine for her article, “Are you Sabotaging Your Wellness Journey?” In this article, she uses her years of experience to educate readers in a relatable way so they can get ahead of their own wellness journey.
