What is your BMI, I am prediabetic and slim and found mine dropped lower the lower my BMI, which I am very pleased about my last one was 32. I eat carbs in the form of veggies mainly, I do indulge in a little 0%fat total greek yoghurt, nuts are a good snack. I have been low carbing for a few...

As promised I have cut and pasted the information I was given when I joined the forum as a pre diabetic, then know as impaired fasting blood glucose! Here is an excerpt from the course at http://www.dsolve.com that answers your question: When do I test my blood sugars? In order to find out how...

Hi chris, sorry missed your reply, those results look fine to me. It took ages for my fasting bg to come down. I am on my tablet at the moment later on my pc I will link you something that I found on this website years ago which gave me figures to aim for. As a pre diabetic I aimed for bg...

Hi, I was like you in that my BMI was normal and I was diagnosed pre diabetic. I decided to low carb, which I did extremely strictly and my BG levels slowly went to normal. I bought a meter as you have very sensibly done and tested what sent my BG up, you will be surprised at some of the...

Well done, keep up the good work!

Well as per my previous post my symptons were as stated, and they stopped once I addressed my high sugar levels. I can't speak for other people. My GP considers me absolutely normal as far as pre diabetes in that my blood tests show no sign. But I know if I eat unwisely I could slip back! With...

Hi cheesejunkie, I was in your position a few years ago, however my BMI was under 25 but not as low as yours. I was devestated as I eat healthily, exercised and have watched my weight all my life, being slim was an effort for me! And I take my mum to all her hospital appointments for a myriad...

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he continues to make a full recovery. However I have read somewhere that silent heart attacks affect diabetics because their nerves have been damaged that give pain signals, and they have been damaged due to diabetes, not the drugs they take. I don't...

@donnellysdogs, I had exactly the same thing happen to me when I first low carbed, my trigs still good but not as good as before and my ldl levels higher. Not got time to read whole thread but wanted to say I was similarly worried, so what I did was to keep all my fats healthy, fish, avocadoes...

I am prediabetic and blurry vision was one of the reasons I asked my gp for a blood test for diabetes. Now my blood sugar levels are normal I no longer get blurred vision.

Just wanted to follow up to say that the chalet company I went with bent over backwards to cater for my diet, and the food was delicious! The company was Colletts and I would highly recommend them, in fact some of the low carb replacements I had caused envious glances from the other guests!

Interesting, I am having my kitchen redone, and have decided not to have one as my mum has a pacemaker and they are a complete no no with these!

Hi lynn, firstly how tall are you? I am pre diabetic and the lower my bmi the better my hba1c. I used to have the problem of losing too much weight and found initially my cholesterol increased. Now I eat lots of healthy fats in the forum of nuts and olive oil to maintain my weight and my...

Looking back I joined this forum dec 2008 after being diagnosed pre diabetic, so nearly 6 years low carbing! I was a bit disadvantaged as I had a normal Bmi so no opportunity to lose weight and resolve my problem. I have to confess at being gutted at the diagnosis as I worked hard keeping my...

Thanks for your reply Douglas, indeed that's my concern, the pizza and pasta! I shall indeed to try and find an antipasto platter for lunch and the salad. I am hoping I won't starve as before I booked I was quite explicit about what I don't eat and they were very reassuring. And it is a very...

Thanks for your reply, I really value the help as I only want to write one email, not keep perstering them with things I have forgotten! I think the breakfasts should be ok and lunch isn't included so I am sure I can find something. But I like your sentence, and you have included pastry, forgot...

Hi, well I am an avid low carber, I try to limit my fats to healthy ones as my cholesterol, used to be excellent before I low carbed including my trigs, but has gone up a bit but still ok. Well we have booked a winter holiday in a chalet in Italy, they have said they have no problem with...

I had this problem when I first started low carbing, as I used to eat loads of porridge, brown rice etc., previously. Got things back on an even keel by having a very large salad for lunch, with a side of nuts. Then whatever my evening meal is I will have a massive portion of veg to replace the...

Hi Annie, I was prediabetic according to my blood test and was not overweight in that my BMI was normal. I did lose some weight at the beginning but now I am fairly static at about 9 stone 8 at 5ft 8 ins tall. I am happy with this weight although I have to say my stomach is still a bit flabby! I...
