[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1709148, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]The good part of not taking medication (I assume it's metformin?) is that you can see if your own body is righting the wrong of blood glucose dysregulation if and when you change your way of eating to get down to a normal HBA1c. That is the true beauty of being in the intermediate hyperglycemia/prediabetes zone - it's not an enormous stretch to get it back down to the 30s. Everyone I know IRL who has been initially diagnosed with prediabetes has managed to get it down to normal levels. (They may have gone up again and were too afraid to tell me because of the 'carbs thing' - but as far as I know in any case they have all stayed at healthy levels.) This next bit I am going to say [USER=468990]@Ady Kiwi[/USER], is perhaps a little, mmmm, irregular. But, if you are used to having an eating disorder - going on to a restricted diet/a very new way of eating (like moderate to low carbing) probably will be easier for you than it is for most! This is my feeling at any rate. Because you are used to focussing on what you are eating, having a goal to which you add or restrict certain foods, and of course, to deal with weight issues? As there seems to be a correlation between fat on the liver and pancreas and blood glucose dysregulation. I say this as I have a bit of a focussing/obsessive side to my personality myself, I have come to realise, and I have also realised that this may be one of the reasons I was able, at diagnosis, to exercise heaps and then to transform the food I eat. I am very sorry that binge-eating contributed to you having blood glucose dysregulation! This is sad indeed. And please know I am by no means underplaying the seriousness and danger and pain and suffering of eating disorders. I guess I just couldn't help but think that what might be a part of your personality (which includes being able to focus and perhaps the tipping over into obsessiveness) might be something you could draw upon to get better, in this instance. And, last but not least - I recommend sugar substitutes and weight watchers jelly and atkins chocolate bars, and my own favourite - stevia sweetened things, while you go moderate-low carb, and perhaps to maintain it, if that is the way you choose to go.
