Hello people.
I am a 61 year old who was diagnosed with prediabetes for the second time.
My History.
First Diagnosed in 2019. Sorry, can't remember what HBALC was I think 46.. Doctors advise was to cut down on sugary stuff, and white bread pasta etc. I had been an excessive amount of icecream.
I cut down But was still eating breakfast cereal, and other wheat based items. I cut down on chips, icecream, chocolate in particular.
I was looking at the amount of carbs in stuff.
December, went to philippines.
Cereal for breakfast. I think it was banana porridge bought in a store.
Other meals, small bit of rice, scrambled eggs, chicken, dried fish.
But also icecream 2 or three times a week.
Also food from takeaways usually chicken and chips, maybe twice a week.
When I came home, I had lost, I would say over a stone. Well it was pointed out to me that my excess belly had gone.
When I was tested my Hbalc was normal.
So I don't know what would have happened if no philippines.
April 2021. Tested Again. Back in Prediabetes mode. My HBALC is 44.
Doctors advise is same. Refused Glucose monitor, because I am "not" diabetic. I put "not" in quotes, because i know there are are arguments as to whether Prediabetic is a meaningful term.
Height 5ft 11. BMI (41, lets say 42 for the hell of it)
