Pre diabetic is as like being a little pregnant.

If you are pre diabetic you are diabetic (See Kraft).

You are overweight and diabetic because of your lifestyle.

Overweight and obesity is not a normal state outside of the human condition. Your condition needs rebalancing to parallel the creatures who are utterly unconcerned with weight, diabetes, calorie control etc? ie the birds you see in your garden.

Check out low carbohydrate, high fat.

Hi Chelsealouise

I was told by health nurse that anything between 5 and 7 on fasting blood sugar is normal. In fact she said that this is the figure that normal (!) people have. So who is right? My fasting blood sugar is always around 5.5

I know all people say different think nearer 7 is classed as pre diabetic and over 7 diabetic well thats what my diabetic nurse told me
