    What are your favourite Fandoms?

    I bought all the available seasons of Dr Who some years ago and loved them :) Not enough to remember the actors, though ;) I'm not living a place with much on TV so have to resort to DVD's or downloads. Also loves Game of thrones and Startrek even though the old Star Wars movies were okay. New...

    Food Portions

    Welcome to the forum from another prediabetic :) If you miss pulses there is quite a lot of different amounts of carbs in different lentils aso. I think it's green lentils that is the best? Anyway, look at all the packets find the the lowest carbs pr 100g and try it out. Maybe if you add some...

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    FBG 6.0 this am, but this is after a night out for junk-food and ate 3/4 of a chicken wrap, pancake and all, to try it out, AND 4 small chips. First in a long time.. wasn't really that good!!

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    After a couple of weeks between 6.1 and 6.7 I'm finally down to 5.3 this am, due to me not snacking on nuts in the evening ;) Still struggling to get enough fat with my dinner to keep me full all night. Decided to go with the yummy deserts every night solution :) Probably one I can actually...

    Drowning here but willing to learn

    Yay, I love my oats and have them raw, muesly style every morning, with fullfat milk. Good to see someone else sticking with the humble oats on a LCHF diet :) Maybe I should add some coconut oil??

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    FBG 5.6 this am after being on 6.4 and 6.6 in the weekend :( I think I know why, though. Can't get out of my habit of snacking at night!! What's better than a movie and something good to eat ;) Even though it's only nuts or berries with cream, it still affects my FBG. Had dinner with more fat...

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    Hi, This is what I've found off the internet. I am absolutely not an expert!! A1c measures how much glucose becomes permanently bonded (glycated) to hemoglobin in red blood cells. In layperson’s terms, this test is a rough measure of average blood sugar over the previous three months. The...

    What to do Post Prediabetes?

    Hello gangadharan, Welcome to the forum :D Is this the diet you've been recommended where you were diagnosed? Have you tried measuring your blood sugar eating these foods? If you have a meter, try measuring your BG before a meal, 1 hr and 2 hrs after. You will find that eating high carb meals eg...

    New on here and worried.

    Hi and Welcome, I also live in a hot climate and missed going out for an ice-cream or dinner in the beginning I was diagnosed. Now after 6 months on a low carb diet I feel like I'm not missing out at all. For the hot evenings I make easy homemade ice-cream. Some berries in a blender/bullet add...

    pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

    As soon as I relax a teeny tiny bit my FBG goes to 6. whatever. But then I can keep it at that for most of the day so maybe it's not worth worrying about as long as the average is okay???

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Makes Sense! Yes, I like the idea of being a vegetarian as well, but I'd rather use my occasional spikes on something I really love, instead of lentils. I do have sprouted chickpeas and beans in salads but only a small amount and that seems to be okay for me. Would be good to hear from low carb...
