True, that’s a good way of looking at it haha How do you guys cope with eating out? We don’t go out often so it’s not that big a deal but I need a safe option to avoid doing this

I totally agree, I didn’t think it would make that much difference but my body says otherwise. I also woke up with cold sweats which I haven’t since starting the low carb. I’m really new to it so I guess everything is about learning how my body responds to it

I had my hba1c results a few weeks ago, it came out at 44, prediabetic

I did measure again another hour later, so 3 hours post eating and it was 8.4 so coming down then I went to bed lol For the most part I’m doing ok low carb but sometimes I really struggle. I am feeling the benefits of it for sure, but just was really surprised by that last night

Yes, it was a normal bun but no batter on the chicken, and just a few chips. It just amazed me how high it went as I wouldn’t have thought that was a huge amount. I’m currently doing the low carb (80 carbs per day I find I can work with) and I know I’ve already lost weight as my old clothes fit...

Good morning all I’m just after a bit of advise really with regards to some readings. I’m prediabetic, only a reading of 44 so not too bad and I’ve gone straight into low carb. Last night we went out for a birthday meal and I ate a chicken burger and some chips. My reading before was 5.4, an...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 years ago. Meds after meds and nothing worked, 3 separate specialists, rheumatologist, and every one of them came to the conclusion it was fibro. Thing is they don’t know what it is precisely or how to treat it, so there really isn’t much help out there, and...

Thanks malc you too

Hi malc I’m similar to you. It’s only been a couple of weeks for me since they told me I was prediabetic. I’ve still got lots of questions, but I’ve asked when I’ve needed help and these guys are awesome. I started the low carb way of eating, but struggling a little with what I can and can’t...

Thanks guys, I’m feeling a little sorry for myself at the minute. I think the reality might be starting to kick in, that this is a forever change and I guess I’m missing not being able to eat carbs, and so sick of feeling forever thirsty. On the plus side I’ve not had hypos or false hypos for...

Thanks Alexandra I want to try and avoid medication if I can. Not because I don’t want to take any, but I already have tables for other things and this would just be more, so I can control it another way, hopefully it will work

Thanks so much, it’s like a minefield when you look online. There are so many and so hard to know which is best (so to speak)

Good morning as a newly diagnosed prediabetic, I’m still in very early learning stages about diabetes. Having said that I’ve already started the low carb diet, hoping to change the outcome. I also want to be able to test my blood sugars but am not sure about which monitor to buy, so would like...

Its just learning why my body is doing what it does i suppose haha, and me understanding it all. Similar to my fibro, i have learned to live a fairly "normal" lifestyle. I admit its not always plain sailing but i know what kicks it off and when etc, so avoid that. I'll just have to do the same...

Honestly i'm already so glad i started looking on the net for advice, i found you guys :) I'm definitely going to give it a go, I have to learn to eat regular too as i'm self employed so i never give myself time. Thats the first thing to change :) The one thing i have noticed more than any...

Thank you so much I know i've not been diagnosed, and i realise how important this time is now to make the right decisions, which is kind of why i cant understand the doctors basically not giving out any info. If it helps someone change their habits and not become, or at least prolong diabetes...

sorry if this is a long post but I feel a little confused. I’ve always been pretty healthy, a little overweight but active. Having lost 3 stone 3 years ago with slimming world and not putting it back. 2 years ago, out of the blue, I got rushed to hospital to be told I had gallstones stuck (first...
