[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1601265, member: 429870"] Like you, I am slim and active and recently was very upset to find I had an A1c test of 41. I am determined not to let this develop into pre-diabetes, and like you was fortunate enough to find my way to this forum. I now know that a slim person who develops high blood glucose in later life may be Type 2 or alternatively may be a late onset Type 1 / LADA. (There is a section about this condition lower down.) Perhaps your neighbour was referring to this, as whereas eating a diet lower in carbohydrate can help to prevent T2 from worsening, it will not save a T1 from eventually needing insulin. HOWEVER both T2s and T1s can benefit enormously from a careful low carb diet at all stages. I strongly recommend that you have a look at Jenny Ruhl's website: [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/[/URL] and / or buy one of her books. This is the one I have read and it helped me a lot: [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Diabetes-Questions-Answered-Practical/dp/0964711672/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509203471&sr=1-2[/URL] This is a very complicated subject, but there are lots of things you can do to take control and minimise your problems. But beware - there are so many people out there who will give you terrible advice. [/QUOTE]
