PreDiabetes recommended Daily Sugar and Carbohydrates intake

Hello Carol.Thank you so much for your response. I have taken your advice and contacted my Primary Health care physician today requesting to be referred to a endocrinologist and a dietician. Waiting for a call back. My doctor did take my height, weight, Hemoglobin, A1C and and Average Glucose, A1C to show I am "prediabetes. I informed them I have many questions that require me to keep a daily log of my calorie, sugar, carb, and sodium intake to avoid crossing the number lines. Thanks again for the help you provided me.

@m188213 You are welcome, and I hope you can get the information and then you'll know what works for you. What was your A1C when you had it taken? That's an important number. I check my blood twice a day and sometimes more if it is elevated. Some things cause it to be higher than others. That's why I say we're all different. Some food works for a group of diabetics and the same food doesn't work for others. A dietician will be able to give you an eating plan; most of them do a good job of tailoring foods to the individual. Mayo has a daily newsletter and an information sheet that gives tips and information if you would like to look at that. It just comes to your inbox. I read and save articles that I can apply to myself and when I've read through, I just delete. If you would like that, I think I can send the link.
Glad to help; that's what I'm here for. Mayo Connect saved me when I was told I have Diabetes 2, so after two years I was asked to be a Volunteer Mentor in the Diabetes/Endocrine Group. All of the Mentors are willing to help. Just send an email, and we'll be right with you.
