Newly diagnosed

[Liz M]

Hello all
2 weeks ago I was diagnosed as prediabetic with a mmol/mol of 43.
I am 40 years old and I'm disabled with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and I can't exercise at all so I am hoping to lose some weight and lower my blood sugar levels at the same time by controlling my diet.
My mum, sister and aunt are all diabetic so I'm not that surprised with this diagnoses.
I hope this forum will help

Hi and welcome. Most of us try to keep the carbs down as they are the biggest contributor to blood sugar (BS) and weight gain compared with Fats & Proteins.

Do have a look at what low carb eating can do - there are lots of examples around the forum.
