[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 336071, member: 47233"] Firstly, if you've been told you're borderline, then you have a wonderful opportunity to do something about your diet NOW. For most diabetics I think it's fair to say that we have a problem processing carbs because they turn to sugar and we don't metabolise that sugar properly. It's not just about avoiding cakes and biscuits and sugar in our tea, it's about the other carbs like bread, potatoes, pasta, rice - all of which I've totally cut out of my diet, with amazing results. Some people can tolerate some carbs in their diet, others find their blood sugar rising if, for example they eat potatoes ... I'm one of those people. The two websites I've personally found most helpful are - [url=http://www.dietdoctor.com/LCHF]http://www.dietdoctor.com/LCHF[/url] [url=http://www.bloodsugar101.com/]http://www.bloodsugar101.com/[/url] I received a diagnosis and some tablets from my GP and a book called 'Diabetes' from the Nurse but I was NEVER given ANY dietary advice whatsoever apart from the book and I had no clue what to do, what to eat or where to go for knowledge. So I logged on and Googled 'diabetes forums' and found this. And I really feel the information I gained in a few weeks on here has saved my life and I'm pretty sure I know more about diabetes than my health carers. If you're borderline, then you're basically on the cusp. That doesn't mean your overall health is not being affected by just a slight rise in blood sugar levels. I was borderline for years so got no treatment or advice and I had lots of illnesses that are slowly but surely becoming less and less troublesome as I've now lowered my BS to acceptable levels. I had no clue my asthma, allergies, gastric probs and chronic fatigue were diabetes related but I now KNOW they were because they've improved greatly. Check those two websites out and good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
