[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2099729, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=511207]@smooch[/USER], I'm guessing you don't know what your HbA1c was, as you haven't seen the nurse yet? Be sure to always ask for your exact test results, not just for your bloodsugars, but all of them. It's all related, as you need to know where you're coming from to know where you're going. For me, I'm a T2. I was prediabetic for quite some time, but the doc who found that out never bothered to mention it. If I'd known, I would've known what the problem was and tackled it then and there. So, if I'd been lucky enough to have been in your shoes, I would've steered clear of bread, period. Though from what I understand there's low carb bread available in the UK (I'm in the Netherlands, but I think it's called LivLife), personally i would just go without. But that's up to you. Actually, deciding what works for you is a lot easier if you'd get yourself a meter. Check before a meal and 2 hours after. if it goes up more than 2.0 mmol/l, then the meal was carbier than you could process. See, it's not just a bread thing, it's [I]all[/I] carbs, practically... So pasta, rice, corn, cereal, potatoes, all of that. White or brown doesn't matter, a carb's a carb and they will impact bloodsugars. Anyway, check this out, maybe it'll help: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] As well as dietdoctor.com and Dr. Jason Fung's the Diabetes Code. You're pre-diabetic. You can still turn this thing around. just keep in mind that the moment you start eating carbs again, you're back on the road to T2. This is a life changing thing. But it doesn't have to be a bad one. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
