Hello I'm Sue
I live in Wales
I'm 70
I love gardening and looking after my horse
I've newly been diagnosed with prediabetes.
I'm very active with a reasonable diet so this has all been a shock
I'm very excited to join this forum and have all your support and advice as I'm quite confused.
thank you
 
Hi Sue,

Welcome to the forum.

As you are only just into the prediabetic range (I saw on your other post your HBa1c was 42) fairly minor changes are likely to make a difference.

Increasing exercise is good, reducing carbs should also help. To help with reducing weight loss make sure you have replaced the calories lost by reducing carbs with other food. Just some extra fats should be enough. It’s your choice of course but adding olive oil, or cream/butter to meals. Also make sure you are eating plenty of protein which will help you feel full.
