Oh I have posted here quite a few times earlier in the year as I was diagnosed prediabetic 2 years ago with hba1c of 42 and my doctor sent me on a nhs course and I got it down to 35 this year in February a year later by going low carb. I was happy with that but couldn’t figure it out as I was...

So I’ve posted a few times this past year as I was prediabetic and got my hba1c back into normal zone doing low carb and moderate fat but I keep getting told it’s not reversing our insulin resistance it’s just a band aid? I’m getting so fed up with conflicting info and what sort of diet to...

Hi I’ve posted a few times before regarding my anxiety with my prediabetes diagnosis. I managed to get my hba-c down from 42 to 35 in about 6 months. Now recently I’ve been checking my fasting numbers again and they have all been within the normal range apart from this morning and I’m freaked...

Ok I haven’t been testing since I found out my hba1c was 35 4 weeks ago and before that it was 42 so I was prediabetic before but today I was feeling strange light headed and I checked my blood sugar and it was 2.8 and I panicked i didn’t have anything sweet around except some Nutella so I ate a...

ok so a slightly different topic now I’ve posted a few times before regarding my anxiety around my hba1c . I got it down from prediabetic 42 to 35 and have been struggling whether to believe if this is correct as my numbers seem higher to me. But the other thing that has come to my attention is...

hi this post is abit different my last posts were about blood glucose numbers but today I’ve been bombarded on my social media feeds saying keto is linked to high ldl which causes heart disease! I’m not 100 percent keto more low carb as I do eat lentils and beans but the rest is all keto really...

hi I have posted quite a few times regarding my hba1c going from 42 to 35 with a very low carb diet. I wasn’t convinced of the result but my doctor doesn’t want to repeat it yet he said we can in 6 months. I stopped testing and then decided to start again to see what would come up. I’ve had...

It’s me again and I’ve started checking blood sugars again even though my doctor and on here was recommended to leave it. But I’m sure something isn’t right my last hba1c was 3 weeks ago and came back at 35 from 42. Since then I’ve found it hard to just not check as it’s well known here I suffer...

Hi there I don’t know what’s going on with me and I’ve posted a few times and I went to the doctor as I was freaking out at some of my readings I was seeing 7 and 8 even if I hadn’t eaten anything. I suffer with anxiety and depression so my doctor agreed to do a hba1c even though he said it’s...

hi there I’ve posted a few times still new to all this! I have started testing and am now freaked out!! I’ve been testing my fasting level and also before and after meals with mostly 5 before and 5 after meals however I had breakfast I’d just eggs and smoked salmon and half an avocado then...

i had a hba1c of 42 in November last year and have only recently started proper low carb trying to stick to 30 carbs a day as things weren’t really changing with my readings only now since I’ve gone very very low carb. But I’m still confused as the best time to test fasting numbers? Is it the...

so I’m asking about supplements that help sugar control as a friend of mine has said berberine works for her and she still eats what she used to eat while taking them which I find hard to believe and her post meal numbers are always in the 4’s! I find this hard to believe has anyone here had any...

Hi I have posted here before regarding the problem with my belly waist to hip ratio but almost underweight. I will state I’m female aged 49 and weigh 7 stone 5 and I’m 5ft. So was shocked at the prediabetes diagnosis but not that shocked as I had high blood pressure which I suspected was linked...

hi I’ve posted before but I’m none the wiser. I was diagnosed with hba1c of 42 shock as it was as I thought I wasn’t overweight well I wasn’t overweight I was a good weight which was lower end of normal but never did I think I had a problem especially with diabetes! Well I’m quite fed up as I’m...

Ok so I have posted on here a few times as I was diagnosed with prediabetes 42. I had posted that I was slim and had no weight to lose and I had already lost weight even more since going low carb and on 3 meals a day. So it seems though I’m thin outside fat inside. I’m really shocked and don’t...

Hi does anyone in this group take propanolol for anxiety? I’m suffering with terrible anxiety and depression which I have done all my life but when I got this prediabetes diagnosis it just set it off again and my doctor prescribed fluoxetine first 20mg then upped to 40 and I’ve been on 40 for 3...

Hi again I posted yesterday regarding strange numbers and I know I was advised not to check again but I did today as I couldn’t help it! And the same thing has happened and my breakfast was very low carb 2eggs chicken breast and a little left over cabbage from last night . I woke again with...

Hi I was diagnosed in may with hba1c of 42 and I’ve really struggled with this diagnosis due to anxiety and depression. I’m now trying to deal with this and finding it very difficult as I don’t have weight to lose and could do with gaining some. So last week I had some pretty good numbers in the...

Can someone shed some light onto this. Everywhere I look I find people recommending low carb keto diets. Now I have read that keto is harmful in the long run along with very low carb for heart health as there is too much fat being consumed. Ok we we control our blood sugars but our condition is...

hi I’ve been diagnosed last may with prediabetes and I already suffer severe anxiety and depression. My doctor has upped my dose of antidepressants which will take a while to work but in the meantime he has prescribed me propanolol to help with the anxiety which is causing me to have a fast...
