[QUOTE="Dari, post: 2029753, member: 502652"] Good afternoon to you all. I'd now like to introduce my situation, also giving you some value details. I was last summer diagnosed as prediabetic by my endocrinologist. I had that visit for both problems on thyroid hormones and OGTT values. After my 2017 pregnancy I got chronic hypothyroidism. And I maintained some gestational diabetes values. So. In June 2018 my HbA1c was 39 mmoli/moli and results of my OGTT were: fasting 4.5 mmol/L, at 60' 14.5 at 120' 5.5 That value at 60 minutes defined my diagnosis. As prediabetes is no disease I wasn't prescribed any treatment. I only was told to eat low carb and to walk 30 minutes a day. I only started with the diet. I have no time for exercising at the moment. I lost weight during months. I now weigh 50 kilos (7.87 stones... Is the conversion correct?), I was 56 kilos in June 2018 (8.82 stones). I'm 158 cm tall (5.18 feet) and I think I shouldn't lose any more weight! My current HbA1c is 34 mmoli/moli or 5.3% so I managed to have a good result. I haven't got a recent OGTT. Now it's time for making some questions... I've spent some time reading the forum discussions and understood something more about diabetes so... What could I do to gain some weight? Is increasing fat share in meals the right choice? Is that really healthy? I would like to increase carbs a little but I don't think I can really afford it as passing from 40 grams of wholemeal bread to 60 grams means getting a 8.3 value with my glucometer after 60' from meal beginning. And is it correct to measure BS after 60 minutes??? This is what they taught me when I had gestational diabetes. I still have so many questions... But I'll go with my last one. Considering my values am I really prediabetic? Thank you for reading my post. Thank you for replying if you do. Dari [/QUOTE]
