[QUOTE="bobbsee, post: 711106, member: 148553"] hi all. Great to find this forum, and will be a regular visitor. Just been told I am in prediabetes stage by doc, and advised to change certain life styles. I am overweight, and this has crept up significantly over the years. I am 57 years young! My job is either behind a computer screen, or sat in a car driving silly hours to give a presentation then driving home. My excersise has been changing gear or flicking the indicator switch! My blood sugar levels have been around 5 for years, but my last test in November it crept up to 7. I joined the gym about six weeks ago, and have worked up to 3 x 40 mins sessions a week. Going at 7.00amish so it is out of the way and I cannot wriggle out of it using tiredness and the weather as an excuse on the evening. I am allready up a notch on my belt. I don't drink a lot of alcohol these days as I depend on my driving license for work. I usually have a couple of bottles of ale either Friday or Saturday evening. Hope I haven't got to give those up. I have no problems changing from white to brown rice, bread etc. and cutting down on bad foods, but I am hoping you guys can give me good tips on diet. In fact, any advice and info welcome. At this stage, is it worth getting a testing kit? I notice Asda have an accu chek one for £10.00. As I say, any help or advice welcome. [/QUOTE]
