[QUOTE="halfpint, post: 409620, member: 47412"] There seems to be rather a lot of slim, fit people, who have had an excellent diet for years, that seem to be either diabetic or pre-diabetic, What is going on? Why is no-one interested in high post-prandial levels? I seem to be stuck in the middle of things at the moment too. I have a very acceptable fasting BG of 3.3 mmol, its never been more than 4.5mmol. But my HbA1C is stubbornly over 6, and is refusing to come down at all, no matter what I do. So, although my post prandial is not hugely high, because i'm LC, its staying elevated for hours and hours. Basically it takes about 4 hours to come down. Weight is about 8st 2lb and I'm 5ft 4ins, so thats OK, no real need to lose any, although it is dropping very very slowly - could safely go down to 7st 7lb, under that is a bit too thin. So, is there hope? Yes, I hope so, it seems sensible to stick to a diet / regime that prevents the numbers getting too high, but maybe diabeties is inevitable, but if you can avoid the risks of getting complications then surely that must be sensible.
