Hi Incogketo, I frequently have a portion of fruit with my first meal of the day e.g. blueberries or raspberries with full fat Greek yoghurt and some keto granola. I might have an apple, pear or banana mid-afternoon and maybe some grapes or melon after my dinner. I never make or buy...

No previous tests. Lots of fruit, 3 pieces of day most days. Water, tea with a little full fat milk, cortado. Maybe one fizzy drink a week. One glass of red wine per day. I have no reason to think that I have insulin resistance, but then I'm new to this. What might the symptoms be?

What does the food industry gain, if it's about reducing carb intakes then no dietary aids or products are necessary?

It must be contentious and controversial then.

Noi, not to me.

If you don't lose weight through exercise but your body composition changes i.e. more muscle and less fat, especially around the major organs then surely that will have the same effect as losing weight on insulin sensitivity?

I paid for a full body DEXA scan, much more accurate than calipers or other means of measurement.

If it's okay I'll ask another question. If I do have pre-diabetes will I have any other signs or symptoms aside from my Hba1c level? I feel in great health and I'm very fit.

I don't exercise to lose weight, I exercise to maintain my health and fitness. I have a high LMI. Thanks for your reply.

I recently had a blood test in the UK at my GP for Hba1c and cholesterol at my request. I was surprised when the results came back and showed my Hba1c to be 47. Surprised because 4 weeks previously in the US another test came back at 41. I had the second test because I wanted to see if after a...
