Pre-diabetes affects over 7 million people in the UK. Many are told to “watch their diet” with vague guidance that rarely produces results. Sarah’s story shows what a targeted ketogenic approach can achieve.
At 42, Sarah’s routine blood test revealed an HbA1c of 6.1% — firmly in the pre-diabetic range. Her fasting glucose was 6.4 mmol/L. Her GP recommended weight loss and “reducing sugar.”
Sarah researched intensively and chose a ketogenic approach. She set a clear goal: reverse the pre-diabetes before her next HbA1c test in 6 months.
She cleared all processed carbs and sugar from her kitchen, tracked macros daily, and prepared weekly meal plans. Simple, consistent, and non-negotiable.
HbA1c: 5.4% — completely normal. Weight loss: 12kg. Fasting glucose: 5.2 mmol/L. Her GP was, in her words, “genuinely shocked.”
The meals Sarah returned to again and again were from our keto main dish collection and simple, quick options from our keto breakfast ideas.
