You are right to avoid “extreme measures”. A similar problem is attempting too many things at one time. It is best to prioritize the things you want to accomplish. Then choose 1 thing to focus on. When you are comfortable with that you can add another step. Good health habits take time and don’t happen overnight. Can the low-carb healthy fat intermittent fasting (IF) wait until after your post-graduate exam?

Thanks for your reply. What you mentioned about (attempting too many things at the same time) is a real struggle for me. I want to focus on studying as my exam is due in 6 weeks, but I can't stop worrying about turning from prediabetes to frank diabetes. I don't know how long this takes. A lot of people on social media are talking about this topic and they really scare me like if you don't stop all carbs immediately you will have diabetes and all its complications in a few months or so. I have health anxiety as well and every time I feel thirsty or have excessive need to pee I think I have high blood sugar. I know that stress contributes to high blood sugar and I got into severe stress and depression after the test result.
