Pre diabetes glucose numbers

Postby Newleaf180 » Tue Jan 01, 2019 7:52 pm

Randomly last night I took my glucose and was a little worried by the number then this morning I took a fasting glucose and was more concerned. The internet says my numbers are prediabetic. This isn't a huge surprise given my weight and that I'm predisposed to diabetes by and I had borderline GD with my last pregnancy.

So anyway my question is, what is okay glucose numbers while I'm new to being on this diet? I had dinner and it was 158. Any guidance could help!

Thanks!

You can read how Dr McDougall treats diabetes here

At the residential program, we only check morning blood sugar and only if the participant is checking it. Otherwise, we only check it with their initial labs and final labs.

The only exception is if Dr Lim is adjusting medications and then he may want to check it more often.
