[QUOTE="Skinny43, post: 2161118, member: 516352"] After diagnosed with prediabetes, I started to gradually cut down on my carbs. Then I learned that there is the lchf diet and started to increase my fat intake with increasing chicken, fish, avocado and nuts etc. I’d say I’ve been on something in the line of low carb high fat for 2-3 days now. This afternoon I started to feel really thirsty, which is unusual for me as I normally struggle to remember to drink. Always been guilty of not drinking enough. However this afternoon I must have had 3-4 cups of water and it doesn’t seem to quench the thirst. Has my diabetes been made worse, as thirst is one of the key diabetes symptoms? I’m not convinced as my sugar level was normal or lower than usual before the diet change. Can someone shed some light please? Also another I’m noting is that I don’t constantly feel cold any more. That’s a very welcomed change as I normally always feel freezing - in the office and at home. I just feel there’s warmth in my body now :) - nice feeling! Has anybody had similar experience? Thanks a lot. Ruiyan [/QUOTE]
