A member asked:
Had a blood test yesterday, and glucose 122. i am in shape, but should i do a low-sugar diet to prevent future diabetes? like cut ice cream/cookies?

Blood sugar: I assume you are talking about fasting blood sugar (FBS). I like to see FBS no higher than 90. I'd be interested to know your fasting insulin level and both your blood sugar and insulin after a meal. Sugar is toxic, so cutting way back on sugary foods and drinks is always a good idea.
