[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2448880, member: 216415"] One of the weaknesses of the QRisk calculator is that it just asks if you are diabetic without any more detail. My doctor said that based on QRisk he was supposed to recommend statins. However, he agreed that because my HbA1c was 38 (diet controlled) it was more sensible to put me down as not diabetic in the calculator, so he didn't need to recommend statins. It is not your case (yet) but having non-diabetic HbA1c is something to aim for. Why not put "none" in the diabetes box and see how that changes things as an incentive. As regards meals, my wife is the only family I have at home now but we almost always have the same main meal with just a modification for my moderately low carb diet. Roasts with butternut squash instead of potatoes for me, curry with cauliflower instead of rice for me etc. Tonight we will both have the same thing as it is a stir fry with duck and my wife doesn't mind protein noodles.
