[QUOTE="Winsor, post: 1784198, member: 471766"] Hi All , I am 73 and was surprised to be diagnosed as prediabetic 3 months ago. I have always been fairly active , so looked at my diet . I decided to opt for a low carb diet and my weight has dropped off me , losing 10 Kg from 91 Kg , now having a BMI of 24,4 . I cut out bread , potatoes , rice and BEER . ( I make my own bread using coconut flour ) . I eat less but never feel hungry and never snack between meals . I take a fasting blood glucose 2 or 3 times a week . These vary from 5.5 to 6.5 mmol / l but I can never predict what it will be based on the previous days dinner . Tomorrow I plan to take 6 readings , before and 2 hours after each meal , to check variation during the day . I also take a ketone reading , which is either 0.2 or 0.3 .. I try to do 10,000 steps a day too. A low carb diet is a life changer without a doubt , [/QUOTE]
