[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1340571, member: 195124"] Seems like a case of 'suck it and see' since some people don't seem to need to lose much and others lose lots and it doesn't really help. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and then I lost over 10% of bodyweight (although not classed as overweight at the time (BMI 25). Did this through a low carb diet which gave me so much energy I took up running. I also now do weight training. My HbA1c is now well within normal range but I still have a diabetic response to carbs and would probably fail a GTT test and also have high FBG which seems to be due to morning liver dumps as it is not usually the lowest BG reading of the day (contrary to what most of the medical profession will tell you). This is why it is so important to have a meter and use it. I can be down in the mid 4's late afternoon. The low carbing has however stopped all other symptoms in their tracks - no longer get night sweats or feel fatigued or need that after lunch nap or a multitude of other minor ailments. [/QUOTE]
