[QUOTE="Hedonista, post: 788978, member: 156026"] I was diagnosed pre-diabetic at the beginning of the year and for a while I felt afraid of all food, like anything I ate might murder me! I like to keep things simple, so have decided that for the three months before my next blood test I'll avoid all the carb heavy food (bread rice pasta potatoes, pulses, grains and beans) and am eating lots of above ground veg, whole fat dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, tofu, nuts and a few berries. I've also disciplined myself to eat three meals a day. Once I got the hang of it, I've found it easy to adjust. I've also lost weight, gained energy and finally sorted out a stubborn skin problem I've been living with for years! I feel ten years younger. I also got a meter and tested every day for a week to get the hang of things. Now, I don't test every day, but do test a few days a week and also if I eat something unusual. My plan is to keep this going for as long as I can and if my blood sugar stays low, to experiment with adding SOME carbs back in - I'd like to be able to eat some brown rice and lentils, which I miss, but I'm hoping to stay off the bread for life! At the moment I'm past the initial fear and confusion and not yet at the point where I feel weary and resentful, which I'm sure I"ll come to. This forum has been a godsend. I hope you find it as helpful as I have xx [/QUOTE]
