[QUOTE="mittens76, post: 1560472, member: 323835"] So about 18 months ago, blood tests showed I was pre-diabetic, with high cholesterol. I already have a long standing under active thyroid problem and high-blood pressure, both of which I have medication for. So I did some research, changing my diet & portion size, with a bit of walking for exercise helped and I managed to lower the cholesterol and reverse the pre-diabetes. I have recently been for my six monthly blood pressure test, which was very high (medication increased) and had some blood taken. Both the pre-diabetes and high cholesterol are back! I'm not sure what to do now and feel a bit lost really. I thought I was doing ok. When I changed things before I tried a low GI diet, eating more healthy, salads/seeds/wholefoods and cut down on bread/potatoes, etc.. I'm not sure what to try now. I have bought the 8 week blood sugar diet books which seems low carb and am thinking of giving this ago. Has anyone had any success with the low card method? I must admit the thought of no bread, potatoes, pasta and rice does not appeal. What do people eat instead of these foods? Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help. :) [/QUOTE]
