[QUOTE="Chez31, post: 1848825, member: 469976"] Thanks everyone for your support x Basically I am just probably still a bit in denial that I am actually pre diabetic. My numbers are all borderline to normal. Low carb, weight loss and exercise has not changed my HbA1c . They have probably helped my overall fitness though and I'm not about to give up on those gains yet. The thing is, I only started testing my blood glucose AFTER I had done low carb for 3 weeks. I never knew what was really happening before I went lo carb. I think that what I need to do is to eat the "old way " for a short while (perhaps a couple of weeks at least to let my pancreas readjust to higher carbs)and then check my bloods regularly. If the levels go haywire then I definitely know I have a problem with glucose control and I can finally have a big cry and come to accept that I have a "real"problem and return to carb control with more committment. If by some miracle I don't have a horrendous reaction to increasing my carbs then I would have lifted this awful weight of dread that has descended over me since being tested by the doc and then abandoned by her to my own devices !!! i blame my scientific background I suppose, that makes me just want to test to see if this diet really has had an effect ...bit like stopping a drug to see if the symptoms return lol. Anyone else done this after starting low carb? [/QUOTE]
