[QUOTE="Tracy27, post: 1907956, member: 492916"] I do, diagnosed last week at high end pre-diabetes. I've 3 months to get my levels down by diet and like you I've many years of eating to change. First visit to the supermarket I nearly crumbled! Tears many of. I feel tired from cutting carbs and totally low and emotional. Can't decide if that's from eating many salads, meat, tuna, higher fats.. good food!! or my state of mind from the diagnosis. I feel scared to put anything in my mouth that is even remotely carbs so I think I've gone to extremes so my levels will fingers crossed be OK when I have my next test in 3 months and get the all clear. Thing is I can't keep eating this way for the rest of my life so going overboard with the carbs won't actually help long-term? I have a blood monitor but am running blind as to what levels are acceptable and what are not. I feel for you, not an easy place to be in. Hugs x [/QUOTE]
