Welp. It's official. I'm prediabetic. Does anyone have websites or cookbook suggestions to help me get this under control? Because the information is a little overwhelming.

@BADeMorte
The big question is which type of pre-diabetes. Do you have family history of adult-onset, non-insulin requiring diabetes? Are you overweight/inactive? If so, reduce weight, limit carbs, increase exercise, optimize other risk factors like smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure.

@AlphaCentauri @BADeMorte

I'm Type 2, non-insulin dependent.

I started making my own tortillas as a bread replacement. Zucchini noodles & spaghetti squash to replace pasta. Quinoa to replace rice. More veggies, lean protein & fiber.

Smaller portions. Smaller meals. Lactose & fructose are sugars. Keep that in mind since even too much Greek yogurt w/fruit can be a problem.

Eating less, more lean protein, fiber, fresh veggies, and moving more have helped me greatly.

@AlphaCentauri @BADeMorte

Eggs seem to be good for blood sugar levels. A couple eggs with some bacon (skip the toast) for breakfast should work.

Look for high protein/high fiber foods. Beans (chili), peanut butter, fresh fruit (fructose but also fiber, don't overdo & it balances out).

Tonight I had a tuna wrap w/onion, tomato, thin slices pepperjack cheese on home made tortilla and by blood sugar 2 hours later was 124.

Talk to your doc about meds, too. If your sugar's high they 100% help!

@Tarnagh @AlphaCentauri They are already going to talk to me about meds tomorrow. I just want to see what else I could be doing. Thank you so much. This is very helpful.
