[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2240978, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, I agree with [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] that for us diabetics that the important t things is our blood sugar levels. For some like me weight loss is also important but levels is the top priority. That said without a meter it can be tough. As [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] said it appears that you haven't actually been diagnosed as a diabetic or prediabetic yet but are being cautious? If that is right I certainly don't think it would hurt to try to go really low carb. I've lost weight that way- not as fast as perhaps I would like but still losing. If you are on any medication at all this advice might change so can you just confirm that you are not on medication. Also I think if you log everything you eat and the carbs in that food- yes everything it may be that you are not as low carb as you think. When I started I just assumed cucumbers and tomatoes had no carbs- boy was I wrong. So if you log everything it can help identify the sneaky carbs. Also something you need to eb careful of is making sure you drink enough water. Good luck [/QUOTE]
