[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1847854, member: 355878"] PUFAS are the poly unsaturated fatty acids - the unnatural man made ones. There is more evidence now that the natural fats found as part of foods are beneficial rather than doing damage. I don't understand why you got any sort of red light with Hba1c of 6 percent - that is only just into the prediabetic range, but it seems that the lack of assistance from HCPs has put you into the frame of mind where high carb binges can happen - and you eat bread and porridge from time to time, both those would elevate my BG. I believe that the 'normal' diet we are advised to eat is really not a good thing, and that eating foods which are low in carbs but high in nutrients such as fresh veges or berries in moderation will prove to be far more beneficial to our well being. I tried to eat low carb for decades before diagnosis of type two diabetes because I felt so well when I did. I have no idea what the situation might be medically - but eating a low carb diet is no bad thing, and hopefully it will help until things become clearer. There might be a possibility that it is the failure of your pancreas to make insulin that is the problem, rather than insulin resistance leading to type two - but it is not possible to diagnose those over the internet.
