[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1969252, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=499205]@Greyhoundwalker[/USER]. Well done on taking pre-emptive action now to avoid becoming fully diabetic. It sounds as if you are aware of what you need to do. Regarding exercise, well what you eat is more important. The saying is you can't exercise out of a bad diet. But exercise will help too. Pilates and swimming sound excellent. I used to walk a lot when I was first diagnosed, but just try to do 10,000 steps a day now. As to the potatoes and wholemeal bread, I have found it hard to give them up completely too, and still eat them, though not so often and in smaller quantities when I do. There are low carb alternatives. You could use celeriac in place of potatoes. Some love it, I'm not too keen on the slightly 'celery' taste, but that can be disguised with lots of butter or melted cheese. I still eat usually two slices of wholemeal bread most days, about 30gms of carbs, which would be to many carbs for some. The lowest carb widely available bread is Burgen Soya & Linseed, which is available in most supermarkets. The only way to find out which how different foods affect you is to test your blood glucose before eating, then 2 hours after to see how much it has spiked your bg level. Have a read round the forum and ask any questions you want. The people on here are friendly and supportive, and you will get a lot of good advice. [/QUOTE]
