[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2041284, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome. Do you know the actual level of the test you had that puts you in the pre-diabetes range? If not, you need to know. You can ring your surgery and ask the receptionist for a print out of your results. You most likely also had cholesterol, liver and kidney function tests. It is also important to know these, and they will be on the print out. Anything you don't understand you can ask on here. The best thing you can do for yourself is to buy a blood glucose meter and plenty of test strips. This will help you with your food choices and give you chance to tweak your diet accordingly. We can also help you with this. I'm tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who has an informative post for new comers and well worth reading it, taking particular note of the role of carbohydrates. Meanwhile, look at the list of foods that you can enjoy, and a list of ones to avoid or seriously reduce. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/foods#foodlist[/URL] [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/foods#foodtoavoid[/URL] There is absolutely no need to avoid red meat, and absolutely no need to eat low fat products.
