[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1084938, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=276546]@janetilett[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Good blog, just one small point though, you say you skipped the pre-diabetes stage as your parents were T2. Actually you were probably pre-diabetic but didn't know it as you hadn't been tested. My mother was T2, and I was told I was pre-diabetic, the year before I was diagnosed T2. But it wasn't explained to me what that meant, how close I was to being diabetic, and how I could avoid it. I did bring my blood sugars down to pre-diabetic levels by my 3 month retest, and I think I will be down to non-diabetic levels by my 12 month test. This was due to a Low Carbohydrate High Fat approach to eating which a lot of us on here have found is effective in reducing blood sugar levels and weight. At 7.1 you are only just into the diabetic range, so you certainly should be able to bring it down before your 3 month retest. Good luck on your journey, and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
