Hi @m188213 you will notice that I moved your second post to this original discussion you started asking about daily sugar and carbohydrates intake for those with prediabetes to keep the responses on this topic in one location.

On Connect fellow patients provide tips and suggestions from personal experience. As @retiredteacher and @contentandwell mentioned is best to ask your doctor as every situation is different.

You asked specifically about Mayo Clinic recommendations. Here are some useful resources from Mayo Clinic experts:

Mayo Clinic Prediabetes Treatment and Diagnosis: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/prediabetes/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355284

Tips for Prediabetes and Diabetes Meal Planning: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tips-for-prediabetes-and-diabetes-meal-planning/

Do you have prediabetes for type 2 diabetes? Did your doctor give you specific diet suggestions?

Hello Dr. McConkey. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions and for taking the appropriate action moving my 2nd posting. I have bookmarked the two Mayo Clinic URL's and found them to be extremely helpful. I believe I have prediabetes for Type 2 diabetes because I am overweight. I have left a message for my Primary Care Physician who took my height, weight, HGB A1C (6.2%) and Average Glucose A1C (131mg) to show I have prediabetes. Thanks to your referred websites, I was able to make a complete list of questions to ask, including the purchase of tools to measure my blood glucose. I am in the process of keeping a daily log of my daily intake of calories, sugar, carb, and sodium so I can avoid crossing over the line of numbers. Working on my diet to include daily exercise and consume only appropriate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high fiber, assorted nuts/beans/seeds, water/vegetable juice, etc. I have stopped eating any type of red meat and pork which was easy for me to do. I have also purchased online from Amazon three books on Diabetes, and 2 cookbooks. I am extremely motivated to reverse this diagnosis and to loose 65 pounds. Once again you pointed me to the sources I needed and found to very helpful and I thank you for that. Currently waiting to here back from my doctor. Thanks again Dr. McConkey.
