[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2029783, member: 94045"] Hi, In the UK you would not be diagnosed as pre-diabetic. As everyone can expect a spike at around an hour, particularly after a pure glucose drink, the recognised time for testing is the 2 hour mark. In an OGTT these are the criteria for diagnosing diabetes [SIZE=4][B]People without diabetes[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Fasting value (before test): under 6 mmol/L [*]At 2 hours:[B] [/B]under 7.8 mmol/L [/LIST] [SIZE=4][B]People with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (pre-diabetes)[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Fasting value (before test): 6.0 to 7.0 mmol/L [*]At 2 hours: 7.9 to 11.0 mmol/L [/LIST] [SIZE=4][B][B]Diabetic levels[/B][/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Fasting value (before test): over 7.0 mmol/L [*]At 2 hours[B]: [/B]over 11.0 mmol/L [/LIST] [B]In the case of the HbA1c[/B] Normal below 42 (6%) Pre-diabetic 42 to 47 (6% to 6.4%) Diabetic above 48 (6.5% or above) Your BMI (Body Mass Index) appears to be in the normal range. In fact, it is similar to mine. If you do not want to increase your carbs, which would be counter productive if you want to keep good control of your blood sugar levels, then you need to increase your good fats and proteins. This means foods such as olive oil, nuts, avocado, dairy (full fat yogurts, heavy cream, eggs and more eggs, oily fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, butter, cheese.) Stop using any vegetable/seed oils and cook with olive oil or animal fats. The fewer carbs you eat the more good fats you need. The choice is yours, of course. [/QUOTE]
