[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1987893, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=499742]@Aurelien_1009[/USER]. Don't worry about your English, it's very good. I can't answer all your questions, others may be able to answer some of them which I can't. It seems that you may have been diabetic, and certainly pre-diabetic, before your formal diagnosis. This applies to a lot of people. Your figures don't seem to be very high, so I think it is unlikely that you have done any permanent damage to your body. Damage usually only occurs after prolonged high readings. I am from South Asia. People from South and South East Asia do have a higher genetic pre-disposition to Type 2 diabetes, and there is a higher proportion of Type 2 diabetes among people from these regions, which is also raised by the rice, noodles and tropical fruit eaten in these places. Family history of Type 2 diabetes is another risk factor. My mother had Type 2 diabetes, so you do need to take care about what your daughter eats. There doesn't need to be any reason why you shouldn't have more children, though they will also need to be careful about what they eat. You need to make them aware of the possibility of them becoming diabetic as they grow up if they eat foods high in carbohydrates and sugars. As to what food you can eat at work - can you make food at home and take it in. If not can you get something like Ramen soup at work? I have just got back from a month in Thailand and lost over 10 lbs, and reduced my blood glucose from the 6s to the 5s by having just one meal a day, often pork or chicken noodle soup, which I found filling. Noodles and rice made from Konjac are widely available in SE Asia and these are zero carbs, so good for Type 2 diabetics. Your weight is good for your height, and your bg readings are good. If you are following a Low Carbohydrate High Fat approach to eating you need to increase your fat intake to replace the energy you would have got from the starchy carbohydrates, and to stop you feeling hungry. Healthy fats include oily fish, cheese, butter, cream, yoghurt, full fat milk, nuts, and avocados. Protein like meat and fish are good, so are eggs. I'm not going to go into the Dyslipidemia question as I think that is about high cholesterol. That is a contentious issue, and there are a lot of threads on the forum about that, but others like [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] can probably say more about that. [/QUOTE]
