I’d welcome informed opinions on what I’m thinking about please . For background I found I was pre diabetic in July 23. Following advice here I embarked on a low carb way of life . I never counted carbs but I did eat to the meter or in fact the CGM. It was a success, by January 24 my A1C was...

I don’t like using the word remission but basically I’m a controlled pre diabetic. A few years ago I saw a specialist with regards to neuropathy in the lower legs and feet. At that time they ruled out diabetes as being the cause but I’m thinking that was incorrect. Anyway my A1C is now in the...

I was found to be pre diabetic in July 23. After feeling lost and confused I embarked on a low carb lifestyle. Just recently I had an a1C test which came back as 38 which I’m chuffed about. I’m also over 15kgs lighter than I was in July, still some to go but it’s good. I’ve also been on...

I’ve been monitoring my BG levels since I’ve learnt the value of doing so in this site. In fact I’ve been using a CGM on/off since early September. It’s been fantastic and has enabled me to avoid spikes ( unless I make a mistake) and to that end I’m happy. At the same time I’ve been losing...

I had been “playing at” trying to eat healthily as I didn’t understand the value of testing ! I was advised to test by some very knowledgable people on here and how right you were. So I started testing and I could see what my BG was doing before and after meals. I was hooked so I decided to get...

I’m recently diagnosed as pre diabetic or more accurately again as I was in this state some years ago. As I’ve some weight to lose I thought it best to concentrate on that as much as the pre diabetes. It’s low carbs and fats that I’m confused about . There seems to be so many contradictory...

A few years ago I had the warning that I was pre diabetic. I stopped drink beer completely and cut down on food in general and job done. Roll forward a few years and of course I got back into bad ways. Now I’m 65 with pre diabetes, raised cholesterol and hypertension ( this is in control with...
