[QUOTE="AA11, post: 2696009, member: 587236"] Hi All, Just joined. This is my first post. Its been a relief to find this forum, an oasis in the desert. Its brilliant and much of my questions I have had are being discussed. Over the past year have lost weight, ate keto with careful counting and increased exercise yet my Hba1c is still bordering/is pre-diabetic. This has been surprising and frustrating! The current thing I am questioning about what I am doing is whether I need to be more careful of the composition of each meal. I recently watched youtube 'how to avoid blood sugar spikes( without reducing carb intake)' produced by 'nourishedbyscience' (sorry I am a newbie and can't post a link) Disclaimer: This is NOT SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT DIABETICS. But one of their tips seemed sensible advice and that was to avoid eating 'naked carbs' . It showed a graph showing in their case ( 1 person only!) the difference in eating porridge alone ( high BG spike) vs porridge with protein or oils, namely scrambled eggs ( much less of a spike). Looking back on what I have been doing I realised that I might not have always been careful about avoiding naked carbs but more focused on the daily sum total of carbs eaten (20 to 30 g ) and the ratio of carbs fats anf protein( 10% 70% 20%) .
