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.

@hopethereisnothing if you’re very anxious, why don’t you buy a glucose monitor? They cost between $50-100 I think. That way you can check your fasting glucose and have peace of mind about what you’re eating. I Understand you not wanting to take on an extreme change during exams but sometimes something as simple as no
Sugar and no bread will do the trick as far as lowering your glucose
Levels if your prediabetic. I know because I was prediabetic and that’s all it took to put me in the correct range…under 100 if I remember correctly.
