I've been borderline diabetic for 6 years and for how long before I wonder? The HbA1c has hovered around 43 for the past 2 years and I bought myself a meter. Now I find my fasting finger test is anywhere between 7 and 7.6 mmol/l and I'm increasingly concerned as I think this means I already have progressed into T2? I see the diabetic nurse each year and would like to lower the HbA1c before the next time, I really do not want to be on the diabetic register.
I was never very overweight but 6 years ago did follow the 5-2 diet and have adopted a much healthier woe since then, or so I thought. However although the weight fell off back then and has never returned, I don't need to lose more weight but really need to be serious about low carbing.
Which is the best way to go - the low carb woe on this website, Diet Doctor or a Ketogenic way? I strongly suspect fruit is my downfall and have reined in on most fruit with the exception of grapefruit and oranges and berries of all kinds.
I'd really appreciate some advice that is easy to follow. Many thanks.
