Cut down cakes and biscuits drastically since diagnosis. Cut portion size of pasta, rice and potatoes a little. Also tried the whole-wheat pasta, not keen so settled on 50-50 as a compromise. Completed couch to 5K week 2 this morning and weighed in this morning at 77.2 Kgs. 2 Kgs loss in a month. Just got to keep it going.

and in many unprocessed foods as well. That where the carbs in processed come from. They are not added separate .
I was watching Dr Jason Fung on YT. He said that the carbs that are refined, also often have the satiety markers removed. Meaning you can easily overdo refined carb intake, exacerbating blood sugar issues
For those struggling to control glucose levels, all forms a carbs, whether natural or from refined sources need to be drastically reduced.

Safety markers , what do you mean by that? The raw ingredients aren’t manufactured so what are you referring to?
For example flour, when processed from the grain, other natural nutrients are removed in processing which do influence peoples sense of being satisfied from eating said food.

I am Diabectic , but only just, type 2, I do know if I do binge on something I shouldn't, it happens sometimes, then come meal times I don't feel like eating that meal, it's a vicious circle, the worst things are choco bars or a decadent slice of cake, If I do succumb, it buggers everything up food wise, so I don't buy it, can't eat it.
What mean is that, for some, a slice of cake ,a few biccies with the tea, i don't do, I get the sugar rush, I feel sayited, but It doesn't last, I would then over indulge, a fool to myself.
It's strange , if you don't go overboard with carbs then you don't feel hunger, do I try now to follow the low carb High fat diet.
Supper to night will be sardines on toast & a salad( brined, a good splash of vinegar, carb content about 30 gems, a daily allowance of less than 100.

Just started week 6 of Couch to 5 K this morning and weighed in at 75.8 Kgs.
My cake consumption is at almost zero and my carb portions are smaller.
Very pleased with the weight, when diagnosed I was hovering around 80 Kgs

Did the GP conduct an hbA1C glucose test to diagnose your Prediabetes?
I test my glucose a couple times a week, the levels are around 4.8-5.3 fasted.
I have to take them later morning, as I have a natural glucose spike, known as 'dawn phenomenon'
.
Most days I eat between 3pm to 6pm, but often just have one meal around 5pm. I just drink water, black tea and black coffee through my fasted period
I try to keep my carbs very low, even zero most days I do have the odd cheat meal.

It was a routine health check, general lifestyle questions, weight, height, and bloods. Only concern was the hbA1C which was 43
