I've been eating 20g carbs on a keto diet for the last 5 years and have recently been diagnosed as prediabetes! So now I'm 6 weeks into carnivore diet, eating beef, lamb and some fish. Pork, chicken, duck and eggs make me feel rubbish and hot flashes worse. I drink mostly water but have an occasional cup of chicory or rooibush. I felt great to start with, my arthritic wrists improved, but 6 weeks on carnivore I don't feel as well as I did and my wrists hurt again-it's very disheartening.
I aim to do the 90 days so I'm half way through. I cannot eat too much meat as it makes my blood sugar higher. Any suggestion please?

Hi, welcome to the forum. Are you testing? If so what do your readings look like?

My blood sugar usually 5.5-6.5

That's not too bad. I assume if you've been told "pre-diabetes" you've got a recent HbA1c test that confirms that. If you have actually been at 20g carbs/day for five years something doesn't fit. Could you describe a complete day's food and drink? It might help us understand what's going on.
