I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic about six months ago. I reduced my reading down to 42 and just had another test and it read 40. What sort of level should I be aiming for? I can't seem to locate any definitive information about a reading of 40, just that I should be aiming for below 42.

Hi, Perhaps someone can help. I have altered my diet and consumer very little in the way of carbs and no refined sugar. I have lost a lot of weight and am very thin. When I consume certain foods, such as apples, I get a tingling sensation in my toes and pain in my extremeties -this could be...

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am fifty and have been diagnosed as prediabetic. I was monitoring things very closely but haven't done that for about two months. I no longer consume carbs (apart from fruit) or refined sugar. Basically, I am exhausted all of the time. I might do two hours...

This was shown on Sky New and I was wondering what thoughts people have: chttps://news.sky.com/story/three-dietary-factors-most-to-blame-for-the-increase-in-type-2-diabetes-research-says-12859590 Thanks.

I'm struggling with my diet. I'm pretty much struggling with everything. The diagnosis has been hard to come to terms with and today all I want to do is binge on chocolate, biscuits, etc.

I appear to be consuming 42g of carbohydrates every meal (It's 42g per 300g).

It appears to be 14.6g per 100g. Would that be classed as a lot?

Hi, I have been recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic. As a result of this, I have changed my diet. Initially I was eating turkey mince, but now I am eating two pieces of breaded fish and peas for my dinner. Is the breaded fish particularly bad for me? It is quality fish from M&S as opposed to a...

Thanks for your reply. It's very informative. Would some nuts at 10am and then nothing till 5 be classed as intermittent fasting?

My mmol yesterday was 6.9. Today I starved myself and only had a few brazil and almond nuts early morning. My reading today, before eating, is 5.9. I'm wondering if this is good.

Thank you very much for your reply. When my blood sugar levels were particularly high (bordering on diabetic), I was getting tingling in my feet and pains in my toes. This stopped once I was ruthless with my diet. Now it's back and more pronounced than before. Any thoughts on that?

I'm afraid I can't advise you, but I read your thread and I think you are a remarkable person and have clearly accomplished something very impressive, by reducing your blood sugar reading. Stay strong.

I had drastically changed my diet about two months ago and had reduced my mmol quite significantly. However, this week I have eaten two large bags of salted blue corn doritos. They said they were 1.2g of sugar per 100g and the bags are 150g so I thought they might be alright. In addition to this...

I was diagnosed as prediabetic recently. I had a HbA1c done and the reading was 46 mmol/mol. It was found by chance and I had to go back and have another set of bloods done thirty days later. I persuaded the nurse to put down a request for another HbA1c as I had made some dramatic changes to my...

Hi Kenny, Thanks for your previous reply. Do you know if blueberries are ok if diabetic/prediabetic? Thanks.
