Thanks everyone. I'm feeling pretty happy today!

Hi all, I joined this forum three months ago after I'd been diagnosed with pre-diabetes (45 A1c level). I took everyone's advice on here and went (relatively) low carb and took up swimming twice a week. Consequently I've lost a stone in weight. I saw my GP just 30 minutes ago who told me not...

Hi all, I'm pre diabetic and have been monitoring my bloods over the past couple of weeks. Tonight we're over our daughter's house for dinner and we had spaghetti Bolognaise (my pasta was wholewheat). My blood before eating was 5.2, and one and a half hours after eating my blood was 8.3! And...

Just a query. I had pasta last night (mainly as an experiment to see now much it would affect me - but, God, it was fab) and my reading after after a couple of hours was 7.9! This morning before breakfast I tested again and it was 6.8, but just now, two hours after a small bowl of no sugar...

Many thanks for that. I have started swimming twice a week too, plus yoga on Thursdays. Hopefully that'll help. I will test before and after meals too.

Many thanks everyone. I have already started testing my blood for three days (took your advice and sent off for my free meter) It seems to vary between 5.7 (lowest) and 7.7 (highest). I certainly will try to cut down on the carbs. By the way, I didn't have afters tonight as I was full from...

Well, I've cut out cakes, sweets, biscuits, pastry. I still have my bowl of Alpen no sugar muesli with banana for breakfast as that's all I really want first thing. For lunch I've just had scrambled egg on toast (Warburtons brown seeded) and a cup of tea. For dinner this evening it's salmon...

Hi, Well, I've only been on a diet for just over a week, but I've cut out fruit juice, cakes, puddings, reduced my sugar intake and the amount of potatoes I eat (eating more sweet potato), using brown rice and wholewheat pasta and more veg and salad and a bit more fruit I have high...

Many thanks!

Hi, I've posted before regarding my recent diagnosis of pre-diabetes. The nurse at the GP surgery said to come back in 3 months for another blood test and in the meantime lose some weight. I'm 5'8" and weigh 11st. 11lb., so not hugely overweight, although my waist measures 39". I'm on a diet...

Man many thanks, Squire.

Hi Azure, I was told 45, but as I was a bit shocked I didn't really get any other readings. The GP surgery is arranging for me to see a dietician.

Hi, I've already posted in the greetings section, but thought I'd post here too. I was diagnosed yesterday with pre diabetes, completely unexpected and only discovered because my GP ordered a range of blood tests in relation to another complaint! Anyway, it was a complete shock. A couple of...

hi everyone, I'm newly diagnosed with pre diabetes, unfortunately, and was recommended to seek out this website. It's good to know there's plenty of support and advice out there!
