[QUOTE="Nicel, post: 631216, member: 122716"] I went to see the diabetic nurse at the surgery after I had visited the doctor about my raised HBA1C and she told me that I am already doing everything that I should be doing with regards to exercise and diet and that there is nothing I can do at all to slow down or stop me getting diabetes now. I felt rather disappointed and a bit now that its out of my hands. She told me that as my grandparents were diabetic its probably genetic, if I am going to get it, then I am going to get it. They will just monitor me and if I do then they will medicate me. I still don't smoke don't drink exercise at least 5 times a week and i'm veggie so I have decided that in October I am going to give up sugar for a month and see how that will affect me. I definately have sugar cravings and have the occasional binge on chocolate. I am reading a book about sugar at the moment and the bad effects it has on insulin, its very interesting. As for low carb, I still need to get my head around that one. [/QUOTE]
