A female (whose weight was already very much on the lower end of 'normal') was diagnosed as pre-diabetic a while ago, and was able to control/improve things with a fairly strict low-carb --verging on keto-- diet. Sounds similar, and a similar approach may be worth trying?
- AstralStorm 9y agoThese diets cause weight loss. The person is already mildly underweight so they are doubly risky. Not to say these shouldn't be tried, but only under careful monitoring.
- mft_ 9y agoSure - agree about the monitoring. No export, but from what I've read, while they (slow/low-carb diets) are usually used for weight-loss, your caloric intake is still important while following the diet. Thus it's possible to follow a s/low-carb diet and maintain, rather than lose, weight.
- tathougies 9y agoWe did that and she lost a lot of weight, and had to gain it back. We loved keto though. It's like the easiest diet to follow, for us at least
