[QUOTE="liza_h, post: 2318460, member: 511693"] Hi! I was diagnosed as T2 pre-diabetic last summer - no surprise really as there's lots of it in my family when we reach a certain age! My grandfather, diagnosed in the 1960's, followed a low carb diet. This seemed to be the advice in those days. He lived with T2 and without medication for most of this time, until he died in his 80's. I decided last summer to ignore the medical "advice" from the "experts" who were now advocating low-fat/high carb... as I know that potatoes, bread, flour products, etc are not great for my body. All carbs are converted to glucose so I'm puzzled by current advice for T2. I love fruit, so still have this, but portion it. Also fruit comes with so many other benefits - vitamins, dietary fibre etc. For me, I need low carbs - just one small portion a day, no added sugar and one portion of fruit per day. I eat unlimited green veg, portion root veg... No scones, malt loaf etc! After a year I've slowly dropped to just below pre-diabetic levels so hope to delay T2... I agree with others that a blood glucose monitor was helpful. My problem seems to be mainly fasting insulin resistance - I wake up with higher blood glucose levels. I'm hoping more time on the low carb diet will help this too. I follow a couple of low carb nutritionists on instagram, who are very helpful; keto.girl.nutritionist and lowcarb.nutritionist I hope this is helpful! Lizzy [/QUOTE]
