:D Hi Guys thought I should introduce myself I am Wayne I am 53 years old and live just outside Cardiff at the moment I am pre- diabetic ( my fasting number is usually over 7.00 ) I have tried this past few years to moderate my condition by cutting down on sugar etc my diatician says that i have done well to get this far but as my fasting glucose numbers are still 7.00 plus during my next diabetic review we will talk about medication ( ie. Metaformin) I am not unduly worried as i already take medication for hypertension my cholesterol is way under the danger limit - we are lucky in Wales as we do not have to pay for prescribed medicine
I have a very sweet tooth and often fall off the wagon abysmally - I have been reading some of the posts and certainly can equte to some of the comments -I hope I can learn more about my condition by joining the group and hope I can give soemthing back

Take care
 
Welcome to the forum ,Wayne,have a good read round and ,if you have any questions,ask away.There's usually someone who will answer them.
 
Hi Wayne 08
You sound like a candidate for low carb. If you cut your sugars out pretty much completely and reduce starchy foods right down, there's a good chance your fasting number will drop into the safe zone ie under 7
 
Hi Wayne, welcome, and we look forward to getting to know you.

All the best,

fergus
