Which is a really scary point. I had gone from eating unhealthily to thinking I was eating really healthily by demolishing grapes and bananas with lots of other food removed. So probably spiking the hell out my blood sugar levels. Often skipping meals and just having those. Again thank you...

I've been on the prediabetes course the NHS offers (4 sessions in) In 3 hours of being on here I've got better reworld actually implementable advice. The brown bread thing was from them, gave me a false sense of accomplishment. I realise they're trying to not overwhelm people but a bit more...
