Hi Donna and welcome to
and the Diabetic Forum.
According to Dr. Atkins' Atkins Diabetes Revolution (Page 54), a prediabetic may develop Type II Diabetes within 10 years, if precautions are not taken.
Everyone is different. As we state time and time again here, we are NOT medical professionalists. However, by doing the Atkins WOE, you are on a great road. Also, please keep in touch with your Doctor to check your numbers.
Please keep us updated.
