[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1639200, member: 406880"] Pre-diabetes and diabetes exist on a continuum with the same root cause: an intolerance to carbohydrates. So, the best way to tame diabetes anywhere along the continuum is to cut back on carbohydrate intake. Here is a link to Dr. Jason Fung's site where he explains this concept nicely: [URL]https://idmprogram.com/reverse-type-2-diabetes-the-quick-start-guide/[/URL] Also, be sure to check out the Diet Doctor website for some great information on the sort of choices you have on a Low Carb High/Healthy Fat (LCHF) way of eating: [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/[/URL] You may also want to consider buying a blood glucose meter. Many of us have done so and we test our blood glucose immediately before a meal, then 2 hours after the first bite to see the effect of everything we eat on our blood glucose. Your diet (although ostensibly healthy per the Eatwell plate guidance) has a lot of carbohydrate which is generally not a healthy diet for those of us on the diabetes continuum. A word about skimmed milk and low fat cheese: whenever fat is removed from a food it is replaced with carbohydrate. I know from testing my blood glucose that the skimmed milk, the bread, the porridge, the low-fat cheese would all raise my blood sugar to unacceptable levels for me. It really is eye-opening when you see what certain foods do to your blood glucose. We are all different, so the advice is always to test, that way you will know which foods spike you, and thus which foods to avoid. [/QUOTE]
