This sounds like a question for your doctor, IMO

Agreed with PwC 1 but it can help, especially if you are on a cusp and can cut down on meds. In my experience, the meds (if you are on any) can some times mess with your head, and not in the good way.

Generally speaking (not medical advice), there are lots of diabetics who go on keto because keto is a no/very low sugar diet. I think there are a few keto for diabetics groups on Facebook! But as the others said, better to check with physician

Thanks all

Well the reason your sugar gets high is because of sugar intake. Cutting back carbs is most important thing you can do at pre diabetes level. Gotta start walking daily as well. Just gotta move. Buy a fit bit and get 10k steps in a day no matter what

Thanks all. Very helpful

Any insulin related medication (trulicity, glymepiride, etc) that has a side effect of low blood sugar can NOT be taken on keto. Metformin is ok.
