[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 791578, member: 88961"] Venta - right now, I think your most important step is to think about this and decide upon a structured plan of action. You are currently pre-diabetic, but you haven't mentioned what your actual bllod score was. You could only just be prediabetic or very almost diabetic, and it would be good to know where you are on that scale, before getting too wound up about matters. For all you know, you could have been in this state for some time, so although you certainly want to take note, and some action, there's no need for an immediate, nuclear action plan. Most of us found out pretty quickly the most important influencer to your condition is diet, followed by exercise. Some are generally healthier than others when diagnosed, but I'm assuming you are otherwise healthy? Whilst on the subject of diet, carbohydrates (including basic sugars) are the key to all of this, and it looks like you've begun your steep learning curve there. Have you acquired, or considered a blood monitor so that you can test at home? Some prediabetics find their bloods generally run at the higher end of normal for anything containing carbs they eat or drink, and others find they are particularly sensitive to a handful of foods -often bread or cereals, but certainly not exclusively. Only by testing, as you eat, will you find these things out. I would hate to think of you giving up foods you may enjoy without any real need, as far as your prediabetes is concerned. Of course, cutting more carbs may aid greater weight loss, but that's an alied issue. [/QUOTE]
