Great advice! I will get a meter and do that testing.
Out of interest, can fasting skew the results of tests? I'd have to bear that in mind after the no food days.
Think of any food, and you will find somewhere a scientist saying it's bad for you. What did your parents eat 40 to 50 years ago, prior to the low fat nonsense. every food stuff is a target to someone. Eat how your ancestors ate and you will be fine. Get a meter, and test immediately before eating and 2 hours after. If the rise is less than 2 mmol. Then that meal was fine for you. Your meter will never lie, and has no agenda so you can trust it. It may even show that you only need to alter a few items you normally eat. As pre diabetic you only need a slight improvement, Much less than those of us who are diabetic.
Thanks, will check her out.Look up ‘heavenly fan’ on YouTube she is vegan and makes great low carb/keto vegan meals. Her flat bread recipe has only 0.5g carbs and her recipe for curry stuffed flatbread is wonderful. You could even add chicken if you like chicken or swap ingredients to your liking but she gives great ideas.
Take care with this."I could never eat meat
That wasn't my intention. I just made up several "nevers". I assume posters can decide for themselves what route they follow. Was it "insensitive " to suggest fasting ? The woke world has gone crazy. Will I be banned if I ever use the word meat again?Take care with this.
There are many reasons why people can never eat meat including cultural and religious reasons.
I appreciate that is not the case with the OP but it could be considered insensitive to some to suggest they give up their vegan/vegetarian diet,
Hi MrsA2 I like many of your posts, but as a Moderator I should tell you that all members need to be respectful of other members who may have different diets (in this case vegetarians and vegans).That wasn't my intention.

This is ridiculous. The OP has several foods they do eat, including some meat, I was merely trying trying to help them perhaps widen their selection by giving general examples of how some of us might be restricting ourselves by imposing self set rules. I wasn't having a pop at vegetarians or vegans. I particularly didn't point the finger at any specific foods. I wasn't having a pop at vegetarians or vegans, or cultures or races.Hi MrsA2 I like many of your posts, but as a Moderator I should tell you that all members need to be respectful of other members who may have different diets (in this case vegetarians and vegans).
You are unlikely to be banned for using the word meat or suggesting meat to a vegetarian, but you may find your posts edited by the Mods so as to remove any offence. In the past I suffered a temporary ban for some remarks that I persisted in making about Carbohydrates. - We must all obey the rules!
Sorry if I hurt you feelings by giving a friendly warning. True you didn't, but in those last sentences:This is ridiculous.

I am one of the most tolerant and open minded of people.
I'm very hurt I'm being criticised for genuinely trying to help somebody.
Its simplicity is only part of the problem.Well I don't think it is as simple as that.
I won't try to help anyone any more.Sorry if I hurt you feelings by giving a friendly warning. True you didn't, but in those last sentences:

you appeared to be threatening to do so and daring the moderators to ban you.
I was just pointing out that if you had been doing so - going a little bit further. Then your post would probably be edited.
