    Prediabetes during Coronavirus lockdown

    Hi Diana Have you tried to get into a routine and couple exercise to other activities? Like doing some stretches in the time you wait for the tea/coffee water to heat up or do a couple of lunges everytime you washed your hands or do some squats when you get up from a chair/bed/couch etc. This...

    Is Everyone Managing to Eat usual foods?

    I had no problems finding my products for my usual diet. A lot of it has to do with the fact, that the label "vegan" seems to put people off, so I can get as much of my soy-oats-yoghurt as I want. Peanutbutter and other nutbutters are available here too, as well as fresh produce, cheese and...

    Prediabetes "High" fasting levels, why and what to do now?

    Thank you for your reply! I cannot twist or put pressure on my feet, ankles, wrists and hands. So anything other than just slowly walking through our flat is, annoyingly so, a no go at the moment. I do some exercises for my back but nothing that could have a positive impact on my blood sugar...

    Your thoughts on my diet

    Hi Masijan, your diet looks great! :happy: I'm low carb as well and bread was the hardest thing to cut out for me. And then I found a delicious low carb bread with lots of seeds and fibers. It has 6,1g of carbs/2,4g of sugar per 100g and per slice it is 2,4g of carbs/1g of sugar. I don't eat...

    Caught the cold. What now?

    Happy Sunday everyone! :happy: I hope this is the correct board for my question. What do you use to treat a cold? Before I was diagnosed, I used to take herbal bonbons or sugary ems salt for a sore throat but now I can't. I don't eat sugar anymore and I'm intolerant to sugar alcohols like...

    Thank you! I've been browsing this thread for a while now and find it very inspiring. :happy: Btw. you can get seitan from "Lebe Gesund"/"Vitality Life" in the UK. In Germany they have unflavoured seita too, but I don't know if they have the same range of products in the UK.

    New Prediabetic: how do you relax?

    Yes, that too. But that is just the "outside" problem and I can handle that quite alright. Me beeing constantly worried is so much more stressful. I talk with my family and they understand but the feelings won't go away. I guess, I just need reassurance that not everyone with a carb based diet...
