[QUOTE="janeecee, post: 396546, member: 45332"] I have impaired glucose tolerance, slim build (BMI 20.4) with no dietary sins. I ate whole grains, fruit, veg, pulses. I didn't have a sugar habit, rarely touched alcohol, no family history. Unlike you, I'm not fit (housebound due to ME/CFS) and that's probably why I have developed this problem and why it's so difficult for me to address because I can't exercise. I've cut the carbs and I'm eating to the meter. I am working on increasing my physical activity but exercise for someone with ME is not the same as exercise for the general population, so it's not enough to make an impact on my blood sugar levels. I don't have a lot of weight to spare and I'm not specifically trying to lose weight either. Would a few pounds make any impact considering that some people lose stones? Again, it's not as if there's all that excess weight demanding more insulin than what's available. It's a tough call.
