Hi
Bit sad. Newly diagnosed prediabetic. My HbA1c is 5.6 but a random glucose test was 8.5 ( I had eaten an apple )
My bmi is 19.5. I am always hungry but eat about 1600 calories a day , steady weight. I exercise swim or walk or both every day. I have been put on metformin 500mg a day . It’s been two weeks.
How many carbs can I eat a day? I do 120-130 a day . 120g protein. Seem to be eating 36 percent fat. My fasting level is 6.1 .
I am so sad that I have to eat so many animal products like fish, chicken etc. I’d quite happily live on lentils, chickpeas, nuts and vegetables and tofu . At least I am not constipated on metformin. Doctor says eat grain bread before you sleep , then you don’t be hungry at night. Not true.
How many carbs a day can I have? I use a glucose metre and am in range but hungry.
