Recommended Diet

[Floppy1]

I am astonished that the NHS recommended diet has resulted in my pre-diabetes diagnosis. Why don't they admit that they were wrong and say that lowering carbs would be better?

Hello and welcome, @Floppy1 .

So many of us have found the same. Some have found out later when they have been diagnosed with T2 and quite high HbA1c levels.

If you have prediabetes, it is possible , with some changes to diet, that you can avoid the progression to T2 diabetes. Many of our members use Low Carb way of eating, to return to non-diabetes levels.
There is info in my signature that gives more details. Also, have a read of the posts in various threads, and ask questions. Our members will give advice and info based on their own experiences.

@Floppy1 I was on a GP recommended diet when diagnosed, and discovered that I had been flagged about 10 years before diagnosis as having high blood glucose, which was dealt with by not repeating the test - I had annual blood tests as my thyroid failed quite some time ago now.
All my adult life I had been pushed to eat carbs as they are 'healthy' - no matter how ill they made me feel or how much weight I put on.
Just look at the way Dr Atkins was vilified, or William Banting 100 years earlier, and how that weird fellow Kellogg got away with really abhorrent beliefs and recommendations along with a high carb diet.
