    Happy !!

    Went for my first bloodtest after being diagnosed with prediabetes in Nov 16. HbA1c has gone down from 6.4% 47 to 5.3% 35 and a weight loss of 10kg in 4 months :) 64kg to 53kg So happy it all paid off. Still can't eat potatoes, rice and bread, but who cares :D For anyone out there with...

    Ice-cream :)

    After losing 10kg my BMI is as low as a person from Ethiopia!! Everyone tells me I have to gain weight, so I've upped my fats A LOT. Putting cream in everything and eating nuts and even fatty chicken instead of chicken breast. It seems to work really well, not so much for my weight yet, but for...

    Hello, how's the weather?

    Hi and welcome from the South Pacific. Pretty hot here around 30C ;) I've found the forum very friendly and helpful, seems like you're already on track, though :) I can recommend a LCHF diet as it has worked really well for me!

    You're right. I used to have very little potato and the next morning my FBG would be between around 8 so I cut them out completely. Just testing it out for the first time in 4 months last night, so 6.1 is actually pretty good for me :)

    6.1 7am, but after evening out with steak, mushroom sauce and.. chips. Potatoes usually spikes me like crazy. 3hrs after meal 7.4, might be the combination of highfat, protein and carbs..

    You've probably tried this, but an evening snack before bed has helped me get the FBG down. Peanutbutter on brown ricecracker worked for me, but only if my evening BG was low

    6.6 @7am 6.0 @ 8am ....and it started off so well with 6.8 @ 10pm and 5.9 @3am. Hmm, have to have a bigger meal for dinner or an evening snack

    Should I be testing my blood

    I think you're doing well considering you've just started with your diet. Well done :) I tried sweet potato and brown rice in the beginning, but after testing , cut out brown rice. Sweet potato wasn't as bad for me, so I still have that sometimes. I found testing very motivating, as it stopped...

    Testing blood glucose

    Hi, I'm also recently been diagnosed with Prediabetes. I, like everyone else, wanted to revers/cure the prediabetes fast and stopped eating most white carbs. Anything with white flour, white rice, potatoes, pasta. And no sugar. What's left? I have Oats with extra oatbran for breakfast, (doesn't...

    can Intermittant Fasting reverse prediabetes?

    Thanks, I think I'm getting a bit better at eating more fat, a bit hard in the beginning to not worry about that. I'm not sure 5 days fasting is for me, but I'll try the 5-2 for a month, it doesn't seem as hard to do with family and job. You're right about the BMI, I should just stay away from...
