[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2518415, member: 355878"] The idea of dietary changes for type 2 are to control the blood glucose levels - there are a lot of people who consider being overweight the reason for the diabetes, but it is actually the other way round, the typical type 2 puts on weight easily and the production of insulin makes it difficult to lose. If you eat fewer carbs - maybe swap the high carb elements of your diet, the cereal and bread, for nutrient dense foods - I eat a lot of eggs, and have meat with a stirfry or fish with salad for breakfast quite often, then that provides all the energy I require for 12 hours. As you are in the prediabetes range then removing the high carb foods - the fruit, grains and crisps - and possibly the cheap chocolate which will have a lot of sugar rather than the high cocoa ones most type 2s can manage, should all combine to reduce your blood glucose levels. They do actually only give a short burst of energy and then that drops away rapidly and there is a sensation of weariness and hunger which can result in a rollercoaster of high and lowish blood glucose.
