[quote=Anonymous]Have you been under significant stress? My A1c went well into prediabetic range a number of years ago right after the illness of death of a parent. Stress can impact blood sugar.

I did make a lot of dietary changes and lost weight although I was in a normal weight range, and it did go down, but frankly it has stayed down ever since and I’ve gained back the weight and then some (5 plus years at this point)

I’m trying to take it off now because I wonder if I’m susceptible but something to keep in mind.

For me, a plant based diet would not work. I think it’s much easier to watch carbs and feel satisfied when I eat fish, chicken, shellfish, eggs. Think about a little dark chocolate for a sweet and something like an apple and peanut butter for a snack (fats with the carbs) as you’ve been doing. Really try to eliminate added sugars and white carbs from your diet.

I think some of the other advice on this thread is likely not the best or easiest approach (eg no oils). Healthy fats like olive oil and avocado will help you feel satisfied.

Try upping your exercise if you don’t already.. I think studies have shown that just 150 min of walking a week is beneficial in controlling sugar levels.

For me, [/quote]
