Oh maybe I am getting muddled up then. Perhaps it wasn't you. I remember a newbie called Maybird getting lots of advice from someone who used to post here. It seems she didn't like the advice to follow LCHF (particularly the HF bit) and a 'friend' of hers called AnnieC joined and made a lot of trouble for my friend, goading him at every opportunity. I call that rude when someone has done their best to help a stranger on a forum. As I recall Maybird and AnnieC were the ones who got upset by being advised to follow LCHF. I can't think why, but these two posters remind me a lot of you.
I beg to differ that your diet works. This thread is about the OP, not you or me. The OP is pre-diabetic and I for one want to help her to stay that way and then get back to normal BGs. Your diet did not help you do that. You had the benefit of a pre-diabetic diagnosis and failed to stop T2 in its tracks. I never had the benefit of that diagnosis so I wasted time trying to find out what was wrong with me and became T2 too. I want the newbies of today and tomorrow to fare better than you and me and to succeed. That's why I responded to your first post on this thread. You made it sound like you had done everything possible to stop T2 in its tracks, but from previous threads about high carb 'treats' by yourself we both know this isn't true. I didn't want you to mislead the OP into thinking that T2 is inevitable. It isn't. That's why I posted. I have no wish to get into another war of words with you, but I won't let anyone undermine the efforts of someone who asks for advice. Your own post gave no advice at all, it just sowed negative seeds of doubt. Not helpful in my book.
@preRR Thanks so much for starting this thread and please keep asking questions if you have any. It's a joy to help someone with an open mind. I am sure you will achieve that HbA1c of 31 if you follow the advice on this thread.
You've given me something to aim for in the future too.
