A treat we had as children & that I still loved as an adult. Thick slices of white bread toast dripping with butter, dipped in a hot milky sweet cocoa then eat nom nom. No wonder I ended up prediabetic! I also miss licorice, muffins, pastries & pies, cake, the occasional takeaway esp sweet n...

Omg lol

Newbie here. I've just found this site & started testing. Prediabetes. Kiwifruit & bananas makes my BS spike to nearly 12mmol but chocolate, I am happy to say, didn't spike at all! Yay I can have chocolate. In moderation of course. Have you too been this pleasantly surprised?

Yes I have been told by a so called hcp that I should not test. I am prediabetic with a strong family history of T2. She said it was obsessive, unnecessary & inaccurate compared to the three monthly hba1c. They must all be instructed to say the same thing. And why I ask? It's all about the...

I'm a newbie. I appreciate people taking the time to give me advice, even if I don't agree with all that they say, but the bottom line is - it is still me who chooses what to do. I might try their way but if that doesn't work, then I'll try another way but overall, it is still my plan. I am...

Typical dietitian advice. My dietitian also advised the same. She gave me a very carb heavy diet which didn't work of course, never satisfied my hunger, the more carbs I ate the more carbs I craved & then after that, cravings for sugar & dreaming about cake. This led to binge & weight gain.

I dont have the correct answer but I am prediabetic & I was told by my nurse that if I don't make a change ie lose weight, exercise, eat healthy, my Hba1c will increase by a small percentage each year. It also runs in my family so I thought better be safe than sorry. I eat to my meter &...

Thank you all, really appreciate your advice & yum crispy duck sounds soooooo good. Well suffice to say that your messages gave me STRENGTH to resist that craving & I didn't run up the road (as I have in the past) to get the worst sweet n sour pork ever ie deep fried in batter with heaps of...

I did it. Thanks guys!

I am craving sweet & sour pork from the Chinese takeaway. I am prediabetic & eat healthy most of the time. Will it kill me if I have a treat meal once a week? I have also just started eating to my meter as recommended by others in here.

I think I'm getting my replies mixed up. Sorry. Newbie. But I thank ALL OF YOU for sharing your stories with me & your advice, opinions & even your sense of humour that has made me giggle. I went to see my nurse today. I asked her about eating to my meter & she said "not necessary if...

Thank you so much for your awesome story that has truly inspired me. Thank you for taking the time to send me your post. Thank you for your encouraging words of kindness, determination & HOPE, you have given me hope x

Dear lady, thankyou again. I bought myself a meter yesterday & have started testing already. No surprise the pasta I had last night made blood sugars shoot up high. I now start a food list to know what I can & cannot eat. You have all inspired me. You did have the answer actually, about...

Question as in subject line

Thank you for your advice. I am not offended. You have a very kind face xo

I definitely need good shoes. I will purchase some tomorrow. Thank you x

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I am amazed at what people have achieved in here. I am totally of the mind now that if you can do this, then so can I. Starting to feel the hope coming back & yes I don't want this thing to control me anymore! I want to be the one in control...
