I started off just cutting out sugar, potatoes etc then realised because I wasn't seeing any change I did various types of low carb diet. I can't say how long I spent on each one, sorry. I have been keeping to 20g carbs or less and still nothing. I am a bit loath to get into any more long...

I've whinged at length on here about not being to lose weight, so I apologise for doing it yet again but I just don't know what to do next. It's been nearly two months since my prediabetes diagnosis and despite doing low carb, low carb high fat, low carb high fat moderate protein, low carb...

It was 6.2 Ian

I'm not fasting completely bulkbiker! I am going to eat within a 6 hour window, so had something at 12.30pm and at 4.30pm and will fast until tomorrow at 12.30. At least that's the plan anyway....;) Oh and my blood was 7.1 so quite pleased.

I don't mind butternut squash in soup but as a potato substitute I think I'd rather do without...which I can easily. I have just started fasting today so wanted to up my cals a bit so I thought it sounded like a good idea. I will know soon I guess!

Too late I've just had some! I will test in a couple of hours and see what the good/bad news is.

I've just read something on another forum stating that though sweet potatoes are lower carb they have more sugar. Can anyone clarify which is best please? Also I'm going to try cooking/cooling and reheating to increase resistant starch. Has anyone any thoughts on this too? Thanks a lot :-)

It was two hours. I always test after 2. Strangely tonight I got a reading of 10.0 after eating!! I did it again a few minutes later and it had gone down to 6.6. My readings are normally quite stable so goodness knows what's going on.

I'm not going to lie Ziggy-they are OK but not fantastic. But...they help to keep everything moving and are just nice to have for a change :-)

Hi, the recipe is: 2 oz ground flaxseeds, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, sweetener to taste, 1 tsp oil (butter, coconut oil or whatever). Beat the egg, add sweetener add baking powder. Beat well and leave to stand while you blitz your flax seeds. Add them to the mixture, then add whatever...

They were home made (by my hubby not me!). I'll get the recipe and post on here later :-)

I forgot to take it! I'm having the same brekkie tomorrow so will definitely make sure I take it beforehand.

I had a late breakfast of flaxseed muffin (including Ceylon cinnamon and walnuts) and coffee with cream. I just took my blood and the reading was 4.9!! Is that too low? Surely the cinnamon can't make that much difference??

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune underactive thyroid) but that's never stopped me losing weight before. I don't lose quickly but I've never been in the position where I can't lose at all especially when I'm being so super careful. It's only since this bloody prediabetes thing that it's all gone...

I'm definitely eating enough, and eating well too. I could do with losing about two stone (two pounds would do at the moment!). I've been doing this since the middle of March. I just can't work out what's going on :-(

I am logging everything on Myfitnesspal and have allowed myself 1600 cals but most days I am under that.

Has anyone done this and had good results? I'm getting desperate now! I have lowered my carbs to 20g, am only eating two meals a day and STILL can't lose weight. I have never wanted to lose weight as desperately as I do now but nothing is working. My blood results (other first thing in the...

So when do you do your blood again after that? I thought the snack was to be before bed?? So much to learn!

Thanks Alexandra. I thought it might have to be more "carby" than that so was a bit worried about having to guzzle down biscuits!
