Husband and high hba1c

[shortytlc]

Hi husband has been pre diabetic for a few years HBA1C Levels 42-44 then August last year 50 Sept 47 but Feb 58! plasma previously around 5.4, plasma nov 9.4.was slightly overweight by couple kg.

He had a bit of a shock over the last result of 58, he had been eating 'healthy' chew bars and flavoured cofee sachets with spoon of hot choc and few biscuits!

any way after the shock of his results the last 4 weeks he's been on low carb low sugar diet, bakery wholemeal toast and avacado breakfast, wholegrain flat bread sandwich bag of various nuts piece of fruit, and then homemade teas of the likes of chicken or fish, veg, sweet potato/celeriac chips or wholemeal rice/noodles, normal coffee and herbal teas. Been taking omega 3 and also lost some weight so now good bmi etc

Due for new bloods in a few days, with past test always done fasting should this still be the same?

and realistically could he see a big improvement?

Want him to carry on with better eating and not be disheartened

Thanks so much

Dropping the healthy bars will help.You don't mention exercise. Diet will make a difference but combined with exercise will make a better improvement. When I say exercise I mean a daily walk.
