I've looked at it and a friend and her husband did it. They were disallusioned as one had bad blood glucose control the other had a bad response to fats but good blood sugar control (but not diabetes). Their food recommendations were very similar. All the usual things you'd expect. I think the...

I don't really have a problem eating out. I can normally find something to eat, and for only one meal if I'm not full up it's not a big issue. For example I met a friend for lunch at a garden centre, it was all bread and jacket potatoes, I just had a side salad and a portion of home made cold...

Hi, well done on your good work so far. I was diagnosed pre diabetic in 2008. I've maintained normal hba1c's ever since. The morning fasting readings were the last things to come down, but I was getting normal hba1c's despite this. What really brought them down the morning readings was finishing...

What are you eating in a day? Do you have a blood sugar tester? In your position I'd limit myself to no more than 50 gms carbs a day, counting everything including veg, milk in tea etc., and just eat 3 meals a day, absolutely no snacking.

My gp told me my pre diabetes was definitely genetic, due to me having no risk factors for diabetes. I was slim and fit. My maternal grandfather had late onset type 1, my mum had type 2.

I eat plenty of avocados, oily fish, nuts and seeds, extra virgin olive oil the so called healthy fats which are no problem for your heart health. I also eat full fat greek yoghurt and cheese as these fermented foods I've read are not bad for your heart. I have reversed my pre diabetes and...

Gosh, what a shock that must have been for you. Thank goodness you were treated promptly, I hope you are feeling better and sent home soon.

In my experience no, I broke my ankle on Oct 1st and had my hba1c done at the end on November and it was 33. I was pre diabetic in 2009 and have maintained normal blood glucose readings ever since then by low carbing. But this was lower than the last few normal readings. And I was doing no...

But low carb was a thing in 2009, and not everyone who has pre diabetes goes on to develop diabetes, that it a fact. It was a real blow to me at the time.

I was not impressed with diabetes UK at all. When I was first diagnosed as pre diabetic as a slim, fit woman I rang their helpline. The person told me it was inevitable I would develop full blown type 2 diabetes and that there was nothing I could do to stop it. Thank god I found this site and...

I find the attitude of Diabetes UK quite patronising in their attitude. They were teasing asian community like children in not telling them the full facts and leaving them to make the decision on how much they change their diet with the benefit of full knowledge.

I remember the lidl rolls! Livlife bread is pleasant and is3.4 gms per slice. You get it from waitrose.

In my case I think it is a load of bull. I eat high fibre, low saturated fat, exercised and kept slim my whole life and still got pre diabetes. I've kept normal bg levels by low carbing since 2009.

A bit like teenagers predrink, only we're pre eating! Seriously I have done this occasionally if we're going to eat at someone's house.

What is a typical days eating?

Oh thanks for your reply @AndBreathe, very helpful.

It does look amazing but I feel a bit disheartened reading about the food, it sounds as if low carbing will be very difficult. I've low carbed for 14 year and holidays are the one time I feel a bit fed up, at home it's easy! I hope @AndBreathe can help.

We're thinking of going to cambodia and vietnam on holiday, will be touring around. Is it possible to low carb, I'm not a vegetarian but too much meat or fish gives me indigestion, will there be anything to eat for me!

My sympathies its a bum**r isn't it! Although I was slim through strict eating and a runner when diagnosed as prediabetic, it wasn't natural! I've low carbed for 13 years never again had even a pre Diabetic hba1c but I still have a pre diabetic fasting bg and can't eat many carbs, in the...

If you're used to running at high blood sugars, having normal blood sugar ratings can feel like a hypo when you first go low carb. It did for me.
