    Would appreciate some advice re rising fasting blood sugar

    As per title I would really appreciate some advice, I am really worried. I was diagnosed as prediabetic 6 years ago, I found this website, bought a meter and found what raised my blood sugar, which turned out to be carbs and have kept my levels normal ever since. My last hba1c was 32, my bmi is...

    No judgement in my statement, just stating how I feel, as I said. And as this is a forum for support can I not say how I honestly feel. With my blood sugars rising despite strict low carbing I would truly love to be able to try the newcastle diet, at the moment I am pretty hacked off with...

    HbA1c

    Well done on your great result. However I would try to avoid going too high on occasions, if it were me, obviously easier said than done if it's not the same thing spiking you.

    Lidl High Protein Low Carb Rolls

    I am desperate to join the gang, no freezer at the moment so not worth going out of my way to get just one roll, however when my new kitchen is finished I'm going to go roll hunting! I am so looking forward to a cheese and onion roll!

    what to eat

    I find low carbing works for me. It is as simple as getting a meter and seeing what effects various food has on your blood sugar. Some people can tolerate more carbs than others. I aim for normal blood sugar levels to avoid diabetic complications.
