Yep, I eat Whole Earth No Added Sugar Crunchy Peanut Butter as well. Tesco have large jars (hooray!), Waitrose only stock the small jars (boo!).

You are pre-diabetic, enjoy your peanut butter. I also like it and can finish 1/3rd of a jar on 2 ryvita (It is just scrummy) and even then if the jar is low I may just have to get the finger out.

BTW Fat isn't an issue it is when you have a roughly equal proportion of fats and carbs that brings the problem because then you get tight little sticky cholesterol molecules (from the carb) "carrying" the fat to the cells for storage. Without the carbs you get great big fluffy cholesterol molecule which are not an issue.

I really like that description, Andrew, and reckon it also goes well with my fat & fluffy avatar - I may just change the wording to match....

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.

"yet I was just diagnosed with prediabetes with a 5.8 glucose score about a month ago"

5.8? how is that in any way close to diabetes?
