    Taking Blood Glucose one hour or two hours?

    Thankyou for your response. My cholesterol was also up (simultaneously increased along with my HbA1c) so I’ve cut out butter, and went onto skimmed milk. I don’t eat much red meat at all. Stick to fish and chicken. I use a fair bit of olive oil and eat walnuts and there are certain...

    Taking Blood Glucose one hour or two hours?

    I’m prediabetic (HbA1c reading of 47) since 25th April. I’ve gone all out on daily carbs of between 50 to 70g, no sugar, cut down on fats. I’ve lost 2.5kg and am already getting really good blood glucose readings before and after meals after 2.5 weeks. My question is: I seem to be...

    How many carbs per day

    Hi, My HbA1c test came back rather high at 47mmol. NHS doctor said ‘it’s stable’. I seriously would have expected some help in the form of diet and advice but nothing forthcoming. I guess they don’t consider preventative treatment? Very disappointed. My cholesterol is also up from...
