I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic about six months ago. I reduced my reading down to 42 and just had another test and it read 40. What sort of level should I be aiming for? I can't seem to locate any definitive information about a reading of 40, just that I should be aiming for below 42.

I had drastically changed my diet about two months ago and had reduced my mmol quite significantly. However, this week I have eaten two large bags of salted blue corn doritos. They said they were 1.2g of sugar per 100g and the bags are 150g so I thought they might be alright. In addition to this...

I was diagnosed as prediabetic recently. I had a HbA1c done and the reading was 46 mmol/mol. It was found by chance and I had to go back and have another set of bloods done thirty days later. I persuaded the nurse to put down a request for another HbA1c as I had made some dramatic changes to my...

I have been informed that I am prediabetic. I have changed my diet and have been doing it for two weeks (not that long, I know). My day is: blended celery and kale or spinach for breakfast. The same for lunch. In the evening I'll have chicken and vegetables. I am hungry all the time and have...
