[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 667242, member: 88961"] Personally, I wouldn't have too much issue with limiting those foods to irregular features of my diet, and perhaps giving pasta a wider berth for the time being. My plan would be, armed with that valuable information, to do as suggested above, and ask for a further HbA1c test in a couple of months. If your GP/nurse isn't too enthusiastic about another test, suggest to her you have made some dietary changes and you are anxious to understand the impact of them, bearing in mind your pre-diabetic diagnosis, upcoming knee replacement and you avoidance of further steroid treatment. I would like to think he/she wouldn't be difficult about it. I would also do ad-hoc testing, based on the consumption of any new foods, and maybe occasionally for your next highest foodstuffs. As you can see; I am trying to persuade you to take modest, measured actions, rather than a all guns blazing. The statistics for pre-diabetics going on to develop full-blown diabetes are encouraging anyway, but with the knowledge you have been gaining, you must surely be increasing the chances of keeping this at bay, or even backing out of that range. Please do give it some serious thought, Lynn. [/QUOTE]
