Great minds think alikeEditing to say I see @Antje77 already sent the link!
Thank you both!! I’ve read that link and sounds like low carb is good to try although I will miss my beloved bread. Could you possibly signpost me to the low carb programme you mention. Thanks
Agree. Missing bread stinks. But you might find you can handle small amounts of it (more likely later in the day) if you decide to use a meter. Many people choose to skip bread altogether, and it may be you'll find that the best way too, but it could also turn out you'll decide to opt for a little bread as a treatI will miss my beloved bread

After getting my blood glucose levels down to normal I have been eating Asda's protein bread - which looks like a brown brick, and Livlife from Waitrose. Both are just under 4 gm of carbs per slice, though the Asda one is a lot heavier, and costs more.
My main need for bread is to have with kippers - for some reason I just don't eat kippers without bread, and when Lidl stopped selling their low carb bread I stopped eating kippers.
As you are prediabetic you might find that you do not have to go really low carb to stop it in its tracks - maybe try swapping high carb foods for lower ones - no potatoes or rice but cauliflower, have cauliflower cheese instead of baked potatoes for instance - that is cauliflower with cream cheese, grated cheese and maybe paprika or a little blue cheese, no white sauce.
Having berries instead of higher carb fruits, maybe with cream - and I make a dessert with sugar free jellies and yoghurt which is nice on warm evenings.
I agree with Resurgam. You may find you do not need to eliminate all carbs from your diet. Just reduce them to a low or lower level. Hovis do a low carb bread too.
It has worked for me.
Have lost 8 kg. Blood sugar now in pre diabetes range.
I think if I lose another 4 kg I will have lost 15pc of body weight. Will then experiment with reductions of metformin.
