Hi,

After I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes last year I did sign up here but drifted away when i got my level back to 5.9. 6 months ago my HBA1C went back up to 6.2. Since then I have signed up with a nutritionist who has been advising on what I should eat and how much. Last week I had my 6 month test and my level is back down to 5.9, which my GP seemed more than happy with this morning.

My weight this time last year was 135kg. Today at home our scales said 123.5kg and the Dr's scales said 120kg. I am trying my best to keep the downward trend but its not easy.

I will try and pop in more to the forum and say hello :)

At the best,
Conor

What is the best piece of advice your nutritionist gave you that you could share with us?

One thing that sticks out from what he said is that you should eat more smaller amounts through the day rather than eating only at breakfast, lunch and dinner. eating like this leaves your body wondering when it will get food next. I have been trying to do this but being at work all day doesn't make that easy. Eating things like nuts or fruit mid morning and mid afternoon between the main meals will help the body to stop laying down fat.

It is a 12 week plan which I think we are coming towards the end of. I will still use some of the advice that he has given and hopefully bring the HBA1C down further still.
