description: "Actually, the prevalence of prediabetes is very high nowadays, but many people are unaware that their blood sugar is abnormal. I recommended continuous glucose monitors to a few young people over 35. After half a month, only one was basically normal; the rest all had postprandial (2h) blood sugar levels of 12~15, with the highest being 18. Fasting blood sugar was mostly 7~8, yet their HbA1c tests at the hospital were all under 6. There's only one reason: they ate too many carbs.Following my advice to either cut out carbs or go low-carb (no more than 50 grams of staple food per day), eat more meat, and have at most two meals a day, their blood sugar levels all returned to normal after half a month!Chinese cuisine simply has too many carbs, and they make carbs way too delicious."
