Message: <blockquote data-quote="kumera" data-source="post: 1405584" data-attributes="member: 384502">Hi,Just got diagnosed with pre-diabetes in November 2016. I've always been slim, but gained a bit of weight over the last couple of years because of age? and a desk job. I'm 50 now and after being diagnosed googled for advice what to do. Basically I cut out most carbs, all white flour, potatoes, sugar, and tested BS a lot. I'm currently just under 54kg, lost 8 kilos. I've read about good results with intermittent fasting (5-2 diet) but I'm scared I'll get too skinny. Only just started the 5-2 diet because it's supposed to "reverse" pre-diabetes. Anyone else have a problem with loosing too much weight?My morning BS is never lower than 5.6 unless I've been fasting from the evening before, then maybe 5.1. Normally around 6.1. I've only ever been under 5 (4.9) once, just before lunch after fasting. With the diet I can keep my BS under 6.8 most of the time so the diet works well that way. Any advice would be much appreciated.</blockquote>
