So taking this into consideration, for now I would eat plenty of cooked veggies, continue with lean protein and forget starches accept in small amounts-one slice of bread, 1/2 cup of pasta. Limit even the frequency of these, and see what happens.
I feel your pain, best of luck!View Thread




Good luck.View Thread

On the other hand there are those out there that say fats are at fault along with animal proteins. They follow a vegetarian diet, that is heavy on beans, vegetables and starches.
If this seems confusing, it is. In the end, it is based on two things. What changes are you willing to make, and what works for you.
Personnaly I follow a low starch diet that includes very little grains, now white starches, and very little root vegetables as they are high in carbohydrates. Most of this based on glycemic index and load strategies. I eat lean protein including fish and chicken and occasionally a steak(once a month maybe). I snack on fruit(mostly berries, apples, pears, oranges) but limit it to once a day. I also snack on nuts for crunchy. My numbers due to this lifestyle have dropped to where I am able to do without medication. I exercise regularly, and have lost 20 lbs from my earlier base weight of 170 for a 63 year old male.
What you do is up to you, but once a diabetic always a diabetic, and you really don't want to ignore the prediabetic diagnosis. Make lifestyle changes now, and stick to them.

You do well on your own with your numbers, and the exercise will build muscle which as we know has better insulin absorption than other tissue. Workouts like what you are doing will help make your years richer, easier to handle, and in the end much happier. We all know that people in an exercise program have less stress, lower incidence of depression and higher self esteem and confidence when in social situations. Whats bad about any of that! Keep it up, and good luck.View Thread
