[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2440709, member: 401801"] Hello Alzeeb, I'm a little surprised they dubbed you prediabetic at 55, as that's in the diabetic range, but only just. I wish they'd given you a bit more guidance back then rather than just let you guess at it all. Ah well... You're here now. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] should help you get your blood sugars down without medication. I mean, you could get started on some, but the first thing you'll be put on is some form of metformin or another, and that, I'm guessing, wouldn't make enough of a dent to get you back into the normal range. A change in diet would. (We can't process carbs. Cut those out and blood sugars come down. It really is that simple.). All in all it would just be a change in your current diet, which you've already done before with some success in weight reduction, which indicates you can do this... And stick to it. You just have to know what to eat, and what to avoid, is all. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
