[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2321694, member: 355878"] The pharmacist was wrong - the number is your Hba1c (glycated haemoglobin) and normal is below 42, so you are not all that far above that - you are only just above the prediabetes level of 48. Simply cutting out a few high carb foods should do the trick, or halving the amounts of all the high carb foods - because sugar and starch are the things you can't cope with. If you want to really take control you could get a glucose meter which is cheap to run and test your blood levels after eating, and that should indicate which foods you should reduce - I have to watch peas and beans as legumes seem to cause spikes twice as high as expected from their carb content.
