[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 902866, member: 150927"] What I suggest to prediabetic family members and friends is that just by cutting down/avoiding/cutting out processed food, and by moving/exercising/walking/or sport/ing more, they can hugely affect their prediabetic blood glucose levels and get them into the realm of normal, without much other fuss. I had read a stat in some book that showed a huge improvement could be got just by doing those two things. Sounded good to me. Now, at this stage of my own diabetes journey, I would also add 'get a meter and start eat and metering. And move and metering'. As well as reading a really good book or two on prediabetes and diabetes. (And reading this forum!) Why? Because two of the prediabetic folk I strongly suggested the initial two things to did not take it seriously enough, and I underestimated how strong the allure of processed food is. I should have known, really. If you don't like cooking, but like yummy tasting food - ripping off the cardboard and seeing a whole dish there just ready and waiting for the microwave and you is just too good! And I still lick my lips walking past advertisements for Mcfries and so on. And as we know - those ads are everywhere! Not to mention that insulin-provoking eventual-insulin-resistance-provoking food. [/QUOTE]
