[QUOTE="vanillapie, post: 1777836, member: 472392"] Hi MrBlueyezz :) Like you I was diagnosed with prediabetes a few weeks ago and I am still relatively new to all this. I find having a blood glucose monitor very useful, as it tells me exactly what happens to my sugars on eating and tells me what foods to avoid. The cheapest one I think is the SD Codefree, which you can get on Amazon. Test strips do become expensive, but it's well worth it to know what's going on. Ideally, you want to test before a meal, and two hours after. This will tell you what the food you eat does to your sugars. Ideally you want a rise of no more than 2mmol/L - anything higher and it's a food you should avoid. I would also recommend looking into a low carbohydrate diet, as it is generally carbs that cause sugars to rise. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
