Hi
I have been through lots of threads on this forum and have found them very helpful and informative. When I joined here I had already started a LCHF diet but wanted to find out more about it and also look to see what other ideas people had, so I could work out if I was going in the right direction or not. I was diagnosed in August with Pre- diabetes. I have lost nearly a stone and a half, my fasting blood sugar goes up and down and seems to depend on whether I sleep well or not but in general has gone to mostly 102-106 (5.5 - 6) but I would like get it down a bit more. At the moment weight and sugar levels seem to be stuck.
I have just read Michael Mosley's book and he advocates a Mediterranean diet. Has any tried this for getting blood sugar down and does it work? I am rather confused as lots of things he uses in his recipes are the higher carb things like apples, mangos etc. things that I thought you should avoid. His recipes don't seem to use much fat either. Please help!
