Hi 60 year old guy here
45 diagnosed from blood test done on blood sugar level for prevous two months
Get regular blood tests for diabetes, chlosterol etc.
In last year or so, recieving B12 injections.
Also taking meds for blood pressure, chlosterol, thyroid (eltroxon)
Breakfast can be 2 slices of white bread with scallions, or toasted. 1 to 2 slices. Yogurt, and maybe slice of cake or brack
Tablets taken before that usually with a mineral or flavoured milk eg banana.
Also diluted drinks. Proobably drink 2 glasses in a day. Hard to say because I tend to drink in bits ie a mouthful or two at a time.
Guilty of stuffing myself between meals with handfuls of crisps, bits of chocolate. etc.
Determined to reduce cakes to once a week, give up on the crisps, etc.
Any advise welcome
Dinner
Don't eat red meat, mostly chicken, maybe full, or pieces such as leg usually done in slow cooker)
fish once or twice a week.
Have been buying frozen vegetables lately
potatoes could be boiled, maybe 2 or 3 medium sized, or same with roasted, or chips small amount.
Sometimes.wedges
If eating out , once or twice a week, chicken might be gougon
Any advise is welcome .
Tea (Cereal) Yes, weird. Why not at breakfast? Fond of scallions. Thought it better to eat bread in morning, and cereal in evening.
Any advise is welcome.
Supper (fruit and yogurt) Would you advise against using any fruit. Levels of fruit eaten with yogurt would be small portions of different fruit, as in a fruit salad.
Any advise is welcome.
Excercise. Try to stretch and exercise every morning. If inside, stretching, running on the spot, star jumps.
if outside, walking at a moderately fast pace 20 minutes to 30 minutes. At least one walk per day. Two if no indoor exercise.
Try to Play tennis once a week. Stopped at moment, because of injury.
Height 5ft 10. Weight 15 stone.
Thanks to anybody who read this.
