[QUOTE="Life-without-chocolate, post: 2598762, member: 567902"] Hi Grace, Im in a really similar situation, other than only having had a first blood test after beginning to feel not quite right, and the HbA1c coming in at 41.9 along with a few other results being not what they should be (I'm also borderline hypothyroid and menopausal) so my GP is repeating mine at the 3 month mark as Id already made a huge change to my diet as soon as I had the results back but my appointment was 2 weeks later. Like you, I always thought my diet was pretty ok? I've just retired from a lifetime of shiftwork and my meals were all over the place. As soon as I got the results back, I switched all carbs from white to wholemeal and halved the portion size of each that I had. I cut out all processed sugars (Im a bit of a chocaholic) I bake cakes on the side and have stopped nibbling the cake trimmings and now make every meal from scratch, so I can limit the sugars or at least know what sugars are there. My biggest struggle, is the evenings, when its my chill time, with tv, cup of tea and chocolate, so trying to cut that out is very hard. I dont have the answer for you I'm afraid, but I can say, you're not on your own with being new and unsure of the best route (and I was a medical professional, so already had some of the answers) [/QUOTE]
