Hi
@Paul41. My own attitude to a prediabetes diagnosis, even post remission if you like, is that your body has given you a warning sign that you are excess carbohydrate intolerant. So yeah - your understanding that you need to find your own sweet spot, excuse the accidental pun, sounds right on the button.
The excess carbs, according to some T2D theories, follows excess insulin response to the excess blood glucose, than what your body (and arguably - most human bodies!) can handle for optimal health. So, according to my understanding, it would be clever for you to think about the insulin and the higher carbs in tandem. In that case - it wouldn't hurt to cycle a or do a window of eating regime, so your body has a break from the glucose-insulin cycle and replenishes well. This is what I would advise if you were my kin for instance
. Basically - with most of the time not snacking at night, or not having late meals followed by breakfast the next day, most of the time. And as you already know - your CGM/BG monitoring will tell you if that is working for you, as would the carb cycling.
My understanding, re the current food and drink environment, is not really about the plentiful, it's the nature of the food and drink now. As in the Ultra Processed nature, when a lot of what we are eating and is in the supermarket is not 'real food', and our bodies can't deal with it well, certainly not for best health outcomes. But yeah, the arguments for how healthy intermittent fasting and fasting generally for us is about what our species has evolved to deal with and cope with well (re the food being plentiful now thing). But I am very much about it's about what we are eating and drinking, rather than how much, because our bodies have a satiety point that works very well when we are eating real food.
