[QUOTE="Cfaria20, post: 2340319, member: 534420"] Hi thank you all for your responses, sorry took so long to reply back went to the in laws so kids could help do the tree. That's 3rd tree this weekend as done mine and went to my mums yesterday lol. Yes I do live in uk. Thank you [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] for the meter advice, when I had it before was during g pregnancy so hospital gave me the strips meter and everything and last one was 3 yrs ago I couldn't remember what brand it was. Does brand even matter? Yes I do need lose weight im 5'2 and at check up last week weighed 80kg which is bad as start of the year I was 74kg 3 years ago after had my youngest I was 79kg. With my oldest 11 yrs ago I went up to 86kg from 63kg with my middle child 73kg to 86kg as well. Since I've had my kids I have struggled alot with my weight but I'm big built even though I'm not tall so got wide shoulders wide hips and big chest which adds on weight too apparently :-( . No I'm not on any medication at all this is what I'm worried about since last yr being diagnosed prediabetes I've had diet control going from normal to wholemeal with everything I can. But now from this thread i will cut it out as much as I can, I'm just not sure on portions. When i was pregnant i was given a really good book had portion sizes and calorie count on food items i cant find it anywhere. Does anyone know a really good book? Or a recipe book? I've looked it up but cant seem to find a decent one. I will defo eat more fish.i normally steam my food or oven cook or use extra virgin olive oil to cook. I sometimes did use butter but now going to completely stop. Instead of using normal fryer I 7se an air fryer, is this still ok or do I need completely stop? Even when I do use it it's small portion of chips or whatever I cook in that. But i did have high cholesterol as well so going completely stop i think. I moved fro normal yourgut to low fat or natural Greek yourguts as well this week and my butter to proactively etc. I hope I'm not a complicated diabetic as was full of complications when I was pregnant not just with diabetes but high blood pressure, blood clot and other stuff too. I'm worried. What questions should I ask gp tomo when I call? I did click on one of the above links that has helped get few questions going in my mind so going write it down. Thank you all again for taking the time to respond [/QUOTE]
