[QUOTE="Jon1, post: 2202919, member: 490395"] I am no expert but if you are only pre diabetic I do not understand why you are checking your blood sugars after every meal? I was diagnosed some years years ago as being pre diabetic and did not think too much about it. What concerned me more was each year I had my well man checks I was putting on more and more weight and was obese according to the NHS charts which ultimately made me decide to do something about it. I went onto a Keto type regime (high fat, low Carb) under the advice of a nutritionist along with fasting for 24 hours one day a week and only eating twice a day during 2 one hour windows - main meal 1200 to 1300 and 2nd meal 1700 to 1800. It was forbidden to eat outside of these hours. I lost 22 Kilos within 3 months which meant I was just overweight but no longer obese. My waist size reduced by 3 sizes. I combined this with walking for 5 miles briskly for (weather permitting) 5 days a week. After the initial weight loss I have maintained a keto type lifestyle and still stick to the meal time regime and fasting one day a week but mostly I snack outside of the mealtimes in the evenings. I limit myself to only consuming alcohol on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had no alcohol during the first 3 months of the diet. The result is I have put some weight back on and now tend to be 15 to 17 kilos lighter than originally - it comes on at weekends and then gets better when I cut out the wine in the week. I hardly ever eat spuds anymore or pasta or rice and although I used to love them that is no longer the case, its amazing how quickly your tastes change - my perenial love for pastries, chocolate and certain types of biscuits prevails however and is my main downfall as well as going on 3 5 star All Inclusive holidays each year and ensuring I drink and eat my monies worth!
