Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, please be gentle . Results from a blood test earlier this week revealed I am prediabetic and I've been told to make changes to my diet and move more.
Carbs form the basis of everything I eat - pasta, rice or potatoes feature in almost every meal and please don't get me started on bread. The doctor advised that whole-wheat alternatives are not really a lot better, so I guess I'm just looking to see what others have done.
Do I need to be drastic and cut them out completely or is it enough to reduce the portion size and the number of times I have them in a week? Looking for tips and hints on how others may have turned things around whilst hoping that potatoes and bread can still feature somewhere.
Thank you
