I got diagnosed as pre diabetic around 4 weeks ago. I’ve really overhauled by life since then and am on a low carb diet, trying to transition into keto. I’ve lost weight and I’m feeling good.
But today I got my call from the Diabetes Prevention people my GP put me on to and it threw me for a real loop. They want me to eat more carbs, they’re weirdly patronising (“we’re going to teach you how to read a nutrition label” “choose an apple instead of crisps”) and I feel like they weren’t listening when I said I felt good about my current diet.
But since it was referred to me by my GP I feel like I should give it a chance? What does everyone else think?
