Is this required? If so, is that even legal? You have worked so many years on this and you've found your balance.

Hi Bells! They ID'd me as at risk for diabetes and heart disease so it was highly "recommended" by my health insurance. I've let them know that Fat Secret and the forum here saved my life and allowed me to turn myself around. They haven't done anything but take up my time.

Ah. I mentioned FS to my Doc last time; didn't bring it up this time. It is ... 'something' (grasping for the word) that this place can be life saving. Whether the person just uses it to track intake and get a better understanding of the nutrition, try the recipes or participate by interacting, there is just something about it that helps. I'm glad you're here. Are you on meds for the blood sugar or just going to try to modify with less processed sugar?

That is what happened similar to my bf. They tested for tobacco and would have increased his premiums if tested positive. So he had an increased incentive to quick smoking.

A former employer required everyone to get "metabolic syndrome" test and certify we were non-smokers or else our health insurance premiums would go up. The test didn't catch my pre-diabetes, which crossed into overt T2D a couple of years later.

Thanks everyone - I realize a company's bottom line has to manage the risk associated with the health and well being of their employees; however, this program has been a little invasive. There are some of my co-workers who have taken it seriously (and to their benefit) and others have just blown it off. We'll see if there are consequences.
Bells- I have been off all meds for over a year. I caught myself at pre-diabetes (A1c of 6.2) and started LCHF 18 months ago. My A1c a year ago was 5.0. Quite a turnaround in just 6 months!
