I've been told I'm in the prediabetic stage for T2 so I read up on it and, for the last week, I've cut out cakes, biscuits and sweets (yes I've got a very sweet tooth), checked what carbs are good and have kept to 100-130 carbs per day and 75g of sugar. My cholesterol level is at 3. So far I've lost nearly 3lbs in weight. I love veg particularly greens but not so much in the way of fruit only blueberries, strawberries satsumas/ sweet clems. I've also tried some of the ideas on the Diabetes website.
I'm determined not to develope into full T2 as my dad had this in later life. He also had heart problems but he wouldn't take any advice on diet, healthy living or excersise, consequently he died at age 77. I'm nearing that age myself but I'm always on the go, do eat relatively healthily (apart from the sweet tooth, that is), so I'll accept any advice going to reduce my blood sugar to acceptable levels. Many thanks.
