I've got apnoea also most likely

I suffer from sleep apnoeia despite being under-weight. I got tested by a sleep clinic (they lend you apparatus to test you at home in bed) and was eventually prescribed a helpful device to wear in my mouth at night which I wore for years. Eventually I progressed to a ventilator (superior type of CPAP machine). By then I was having over 30 "events" per hour (basically suffocating myself and then waking up to breathe). You can imagine how exhausted I felt during the day. So, quite apart from your suspected diabetes, IMO it would be well worthwhile asking for a sleep test. With the best will in the world, it will take a while to lose the excess weight. I wouldn't wait! Good luck!

How about frozen salmon fillets? Very reasonably priced from Iceland (wild caught) and IMO healthier than tuna. They come rather un-ecologically packaged in separate stout plastic pouches, but these do have the advantage that they keep in perfect condition pretty much forever. NB spend £35 and Iceland will deliver next day free. (No, I have not invested in Iceland, nor do I work there!)

Meat is your friend. So sustaining and so nutritious. There’s nothing like it for keeping the system purring along like a Rolls Royce. A few months of very low carb, and you will be well on the way to transforming your health.

Yup, I’m collecting the kit for the home sleep test next week. Using the Withings Sleep Analyzer, it was averaging 35 events per hour, that was 2 months ago.
