[QUOTE="Sarah111, post: 1921565, member: 279521"] The Dr is likely to prescribe something to help bring the reading down. But have you heard of the X-pert Diabetes Prevention and Management Programme? Assuming this is running in your area her GP should be able to refer her, if not you can purchase the book with all the info in for about £10.00. I have recently completed the programme, (I was pre-diabetic). Had blood test yesterday to show I no longer am! The programme explains why generally speaking a lower carb intake is much better for us with an increase in good fats, the fats stop us from getting hungry. Not only has my HbA1c improved but I easily lost weight and feel so much better. No longer extremely tired after a meal, no nodding off in the middle of the day. From what I could make out others in the group had also had very good results from reducing their carb level. I would suggest you approach it slowly, especially if the Dr prescribes meds to reduce the reading and get blood tested every month or so, don't want to drop too low. Any amount of movement, chair exercises will also help. There are plenty of free suggestions to be found via the internet. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
