It’s me again and I’ve started checking blood sugars again even though my doctor and on here was recommended to leave it. But I’m sure something isn’t right my last hba1c was 3 weeks ago and came back at 35 from 42. Since then I’ve found it hard to just not check as it’s well known here I suffer...

Ok thankyou that’s great I was seeing it as high risk not increased risk!!! That was my concern the belly fat being linked to diabetes and other health problems. I will take that on board now I’m sorry I’m such a pain but the whole prediabetes thing when diagnosed at hba1c 42 was made to sound...

I don’t know if you can read it but i put in my waist of 29.5 inch and 34 inch hips and it says 0.87 at risk of obesity related problems which confuses me as on the scale I’m 7 stone 6 and not obese but it must be the belly fat they refer to.

Thank you yes I know it’s genetic in my case as mum and sister are the same. I don’t feel great being so slim all over but I don’t really want to gain weight hopefully just stay stable. I’m 4ft 11 and 7 stone 6 pounds so lower end of normal. But I was abit bigger before but I think losing that...

Hi I found the waist hip ratio calculator here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/waist-to-hip-ratio-calculator.html

Ok so can I just ask another question I’ve been continuing exercising and doing my best with my low carb diet I am including some beans and lentils now and trying to add more fats to feel full but I cannot understand why my waist of 29 inches will not budge! I’ve lost weight everywhere and I did...

I meant to say I’m now back to eating meat and fish since the prediabetes diagnosis of 42

Ok so I did go and I had the bunless burgers which included the patty and cheese and lettuce and onions mayo mustard all on a bed of salad and coleslaw. The annoying thing is there was a sweet type of vinegrette on the salad. So all in all I think it was ok still low carb enough. My other...

Ok so tonight the situation is my daughters 20th birthday and she wants to go to gourmet burger. I plan to eat low carb for breakfast and lunch and then dinner is at gourmet burger I’m still not sure how to go about this. My doctor says one meal wont hurt but I’m thinking there’s an awful lot of...

Thank you once again!!!! You have been so kind with all your answers!!! I do feel better now I was thinking perhaps I do have that much body fat as I still have belly fat. And my waist to hip ratio puts me at risk. I’m just confused with all this as although I lost weight the waist doesn’t seem...

So it’s me again and I’m upset today i weighed myself on the boots scales in the shopping centre and decided to get my body fat checked and I’m 7 stone 6 4ft 11 and it gave me a body fat percent of 41!!!!! I already wasn’t overweight when I was diagnosed at 42 prediabetes but since then lost...

My concern is that the anxiety would have given high blood sugar readings and that’s why when I saw a finger prick of 8 well after 2 hours of breakfast I panicked thinking it’s the anxiety doing that and that’s why I wasn’t sure whether the hba1c was accurate. I have gone very low carb and I’m...

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your answers. I just wanted to say when my level was 42 I was still eating a lot of carbs then was it was 35 I was surprised but not so surprised as I have been very low carb. I was sent on an nhs course which I didn’t get on well with as I was not...

Is it ok to have a few crackers with cheese if hungry??? I’ve tried to find low carb crackers but not much luck the best I can find are carrs table biscuits they have 2.5 carbs in each or is that too much?

Ok I’m already very low carb as I’m worried almost carbs will raise my hba1c so I’ve cut out all the major ones like potato’s pasta and bread.

See this morning im back to thinking I need to get another hba1c done. Yes my first was 42 and then it was 35 but that’s basically eating nothing hardly any carbs and I’m concerned now if the anxiety and stress has impacted my blood sugars and is going to shoot them up before my next yearly...

Thank you yes I do have the anxiety which is why I’m concerned when I see higher readings

So do you think I could have a snack if I’m hungry?? Like a low carb snack? It’s the American sites that have said my numbers are diabetic. Not on this site. This site has given me great information!!! I will stick to what my doctor has said and not get tested for another year. I will try to...

I got scared when I saw 8 that was random isn’t that diabetic???
