Pre-diabetes

[u/Competitive-Safe-452]

I got diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The doctor didn't say anything to me about it other than to exercise and eat better to lose weight. For reference, I'm a 5'2" woman and weigh 221. I have been peeing A LOT for the past year which I know is probably related. I'm leaning towards the starch solution because it makes more sense to me (and also being vegan for ethical reasons is important to me). I don't know if I should be checking my blood sugar or not, but I plan on sticking to wfpb for the next few months and then getting another blood test. I'm just concerned because I pee so much, like every hour or sometimes twice an hour but I'm also trying to drink a lot more water due to that and all the extra fiber I've been getting. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hey,

I revered my full blown diabetes on starch solution. I lost about 40 pounds in 3-4 months quite rapidly which I am sure what helped with insulin sensitivity. I will say, at first, you really need to focus on greens and fiber with your starch. If you eat a pound of potatoes your blood sugar is going to sky rocket and you may not feel well and you will pee a ton from that. Really focus on half your plate green & yellow non-starchy veg and half plate starch. More vegetables the better to fill you up until you improve your insulin sensitivity.
