Actally it's not fun, but you can modify you preferences & over time (if you're serious about your effort) they will change. I had high blood sugar and cut down a lot on sweet food intake. I just mostly cut out things like cake, ice cream, cookies, pie, etc. After a while if I ate something high in sugar, I felt kind of uncomfortable for quite a while afterwards. Thst has kind of encouraged me to continue not eating sweets. I eat something sweet when I really want it, but get that uncomfortable feeling afterward, which discourages me from doing it very often. My A1c went down to 5.9 from the mid sixes.
I'm now in that age group that doesn't get colonoscopized any more. My dad died as a result of colon cancer, so I'm glad I don't have to be overly concerned anymore.
