Your numbers are not high. You have done really well to get them down to that level from your starting point

Very sad news

Firstly well done on the changes you have made Secondly (and I am not an expert on this!) I think the blood glucose monitors we use are designed to be used with Capilliary Blood rather than veinous blood. I think it may be worth looking into that for your meter to see if that could be having an...

So sorry to hear your news. I will be thinking of you

I have had both eyes "done" for cataracts. The experience is not horrendous. First time I was very nervous, second time (a couple of years later) not at all They use drops in the eye as a local anaesthetic so there is no pain. You cannot really see any of the procedure so it is not as I had...

You could send an email to the manager of the store to complain about the quality of their customer service? Also ask why their staff think it is their concern to question you about the products you wish to buy. Maybe some training is in order

Aubergines, Peppers, Cucumber, Tomatoes, Okra, Avocado, Green beans are all low carb fruit - so perhaps there are some fruit that you like:)

I find Matar Paneer fine. If the peas are too much carbs for you then you could try Saag Paneer (spinach and paneer) which is a bit lower in carbs. It will depend on the sauce as well, but I have tested after both and it has been fine for me

I also use ground almonds for 90second bread and it works fine

I am also prediabetic and was not overweight. When I started low carb I also lost weight I didn't wish to lose. The sample diet you have put here looks very low in calories, and also low in fat. When I started I did a detailed food diary for a week, weighing the food that I ate. I worked out the...

Well done with bringing your blood sugar down Your Fitbit suggests you need 3500 calories. You are losing weight. Do you know how many calories you are actually eating? I lost weight that I didn't need to lose so I did an accurate food diary for a while - weighing food counting calories and...

The article does provide a link to the scientific paper which gives more information of the study Thank you for posting

Given the information about the thyroid problem, I agree with the advice about trying to get your father to visit a medical practitioner, and recognise that is very difficult. The diet your father is eating sounds very low in calories (to me). It sounds as if he has removed a lot of the starch...

When I needed to gain weight I kept a food diary, weighed the food I was eating and worked out the number of calories I was eating. It was lower than I expected! I was eating until I was full, but it was not enough. If I ate around 2000 calories a day (of the food that I eat), I lost weight, If...

Homer Simpson has similar ideas (see first 15 seconds)

I think that not fasting before your test will also contibute to a raised cholesterol reading

Single Malt Whisky is the solution!

The human body is 60 -70% water, so the body of a fish will also be high in water. You may be right about the gasoline:)

I think you are right about the Maize starch, and the sugar having the impacton your blood Carbs/Fat/Protein won't add up to 100% because of the amount of water in the product. It is second on the ingredient list, and there will also be a lot of natural water in the fish

When I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes, I was not overweight at all. When I switched to Low Carb I also lost weight that I didn't need to lose. I kept a detailed food diary which as well as carbs intake, also included calorie intake (Most people on this site will say ignore calories, but...
