Sugar is not the sole cause of diabetes or pre-diabetes. It is just one of the several
causes. Researchers have found several of them:
Processed foods and ultra processed foods.
Easy cereals like rice and wheat.
Frequent feeding.
Excessive food.
Late night dinners.
Being overweight or obese.
Lack of sufficient physical activity.
High stress.
Sleeplessness.
Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome.
Inheritance of bad genes.
In fact sugar (table sugar) is not an essential food for the human body.
You can live a healthy long life, as the modern doctors say, by completely avoiding
sugar.
Whether your staying on a very low sugar diet would help you to reverse prediabetes is
a difficult to answer question. I don't think even your doctor would be able to answer
you because no one can easily identify the cause of your diabetes. There are no tests yet
for such identification.
You need to consult your doctor to track your condition. Also you have to be your own
doctor to constantly observe your blood sugar levels and see how your body reacts to
each of your meals and activities. I would recommend you to wear a CGM, continuous
glucose monitor or if your area is served by a program like that of Zoe, join it.
If you want to use CGM you can get the maximum benefit by:
Plan to use it at least for a year, but once a month. A CGM sensor lasts for 14 days.
Wear it for 14 days in a month and study your glucose levels after each meal or activity.
Use the remaining part of the month to modify your food and lifestyle to suit you so that
you get the best blood sugar responses from the experience of CGM data.
When you use the next CGM sensor, you should find some improvement in your blood
sugar responses compared to your previous readings.
CGM apps give you ratings for your meals based on your blood sugar responses and also
give you metabolic scores.
May you find the cause of your prediabetes and reverse it very quickly!
