Borderline diabetic

I had a call from my GP last week to say that from some (non-fasting) blood tests taken recently, I am virtually diabetic - he mentioned a figure of 48 or 49. Of course, I was in too much of a panic to clarify. I am to have another blood test in a month or so, and he suggested I cut out sugar, try and lose a bit of weight etc.

Really looking for experience/tips if anyone has been in this position.

Certainly the kick up the backside I need to start looking after my own health, rather than worrying about everyone elses!

Thank you.

What's the logic why wheat is always bad but rice/oats can be fine?

*sorry, meant to ask that about LCHF diet.

Just had my latest results - 3 months after an HbA1C of 49 - it's 41! I'm thrilled, makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. I shall enjoy Christmas, and then back to my LCHF routine.

Happy Christmas everyone!
