[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1656991, member: 408573"] Hello and welcome to the forum. A result of 49 in U.K would put you in the Type 2 category but as 48 is the cut off point then I think you would be borderline Pre D and T2. Lowering your blood glucose would go a long way in improving your prognoses so looking at your diet it is actually not bad at all except for a couple of things. I would start by swapping your weetabix for a fry up, eggs and bacon with mushrooms etc and no toast (try to avoid the grain based carbohydrates as much as you can). The health bars can be quite high carb when you check the labels and as carbs turn to glucose when you eat them it is wise to lower the amount you have in a day. The bluberries are a great choice of fruit but in my opinion two servings are a little too much and I would would have just a few berries with double cream or greek yoghurt. If you lower your carb intake you must swap to fats for fuel. Low fat foodstuffs often contain much more sugar which is a carbohydrate so full fat is preferable. I have put things in, perhaps, oversimplified terms but this should get you started. A glucometer would be a wise tool to buy as this will tell you what foods trigger your blood glucose to 'spike'. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for the info pack post which is a great resource for those newly diagnosed. Well done on your great start, cutting out the junk food and takeaways will already have improved your blood glucose so all you need now is some tweaking and a meter and you should see good results come your next HbA1c. The excercise through walking is perhaps the best form you could have chosen, too! [/QUOTE]
