[QUOTE="Oswas99, post: 1639766, member: 458183"] I only eat strawberries and blueberries and also satsumas and nectarines and very little other fruit. I do not just eat fruit and veg, but I eat wholemeal bread, salmon, mackerel, skinless roast chicken, diet cheese and diet cottage cheese, eggs, porridge, some wholemeal pasta, etc. I have high cholesterol and are on statins to lower this, thus the above diet. I am told statins, plus other health problems may keep my blood sugar count high and I have had a lot of poor health this year. I suppose I have concentrated on a diet that has reduced my cholesterol and weight, but must now learn to adapt my diet as a pre-diabetic. I have been in touch with [URL="http://www.diabetes.org.uk"]www.diabetes.org.uk[/URL] and they suggest I do not go on a low carb diet unless I see my doctor about this. As I saw my surgery nurse yesterday who runs the diabetic clinic for the surgery, she did not mention changing to a low carb diet. She was ok with my weight loss (but wants me to lose another stone). About my blood reading, she said I was still in the same range and did not seem unduly concerned about this increase from 42 to 44, but I am sure as hell concerned about this not going down, like my BMI reading. Meanwhile I await the info from diabetes.org.uk being posted to me to see what it suggests. [/QUOTE]
