Its official. I am pre diabetic. Updated to premium to count carbs as a focus. Has anyone here personally made it out of this hole? I have a 3 month goal of lowering my a1c🍁

    I am making progress.

    Try intermittent fasting. It works great on your blood sugar. A medically supervised regimen of intermittent fasting and Keto can even reverse the diabetic conditions. If you don't want to do Keto, talk to your doctor on getting into a regimen of intermittent fasting and low calorie (100gms)/moderate protiens/high fat diet. Use MFP to keep you accountable.


    quick tips:
    1. 1 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water can help with blood sugar esp if you slip up on a meal
    2. Try to eat Fruits with Fats. For e.g; Apple slices with cheese. Fat lowers the insulin spikes in the sugar.
    3. Avoid low fat food. Fat lowers the insulin spike. Its better to have whole egg than egg white or reduced fat milk than fat free.
    4. Eat lots of vegetables to get potassium esp if you do intermittent fasting.
