ilovetheholyland; Even though, there is, to the best of my (limited) medical knowledge no such thing as Pre type 1 diabetes. The onset of that condition is sudden, not gradual. But due to your age (20 yrs.) I thought it’s type 1. But when you described your weight, it was clear that we’re dealing with type 2. One thing is certain. Do not (as one, well intentioned poster suggested) cut out Carbohydrates completely. It can not be sustained. I personally know a few people who went on Dr. Atkins’ diet and in the beginning they lost a lot of weight. But, since they could not sustain that diet, when they stopped, they gained back all of their weight. Additionally, ingesting too much Protein (As Dr. Atkins advises.) will put a strain on the kidneys. The trick is to eat a balanced diet (with some Carbs.) But to stay away from refined food products like white bread, refined sugar and white rice. Whole wheat bread is very healthy for everyone. The greatest single thing, though, is exercise. That alone, will reduce the numbers of mg./dl in your blood by a large amount.
