[QUOTE="preRR, post: 1090178, member: 275701"] Hi everyone I've recently found out that I am just into the risk area with my HbA1c being 42.1 so prediabetes but literally by 0.1 Nurse's advice was very basic...she said she wasn't a diabetes specialist... Advised me to eat as stated in UK guidelines for healthy eating in general, nothing specific - so the 'eat well plate'. However, doing my own online research I've come across Diet Doctor and Dr Jason Fung who recommend low carb high fat. I've spent the last 10 years on and off following low calories/low fat diets, mainly Weight Watchers and Slimming World without any long term success but low calorie/low fat is now my default so low carb/high fat is a bit daunting!! But it does make sense that I've been eating lots of carbs in rice pasta etc and also fruit which could explain why I've struggled to lose weight...I've just never really considered carbs very much. I'm also intrigued by the intermittent fasting thing because years ago I used to skip breakfast and was slimmer...but we're told breakfast is the most important meal of the day so I started having it!...maybe that's when my troubles started when I think about it! The nurse advised me to aim to get my HbA1c levels down to around 31...I'm going to be having blood tests every 3 months to monitor increases/decreases. Any advice on whether LCHF or eat well plate is better....whether intermittent fasting works...or anything other dietary advice would be so helpful...feeling a little lost in all the information available!
