Hi
I have just been told that I am prediabetic and, to be honest, am feeling a bit down about it! I’m also going through the menopause, so have heaped on the pounds as well. I don’t drink or smoke and enjoy my chocolate. Now I have to avoid my beloved choccie and lose at least 2 and a half stone to be within an acceptable BMI level and avoid developing Type 2 diabetes. I’m also on medication for familial high cholesterol, and my level has increased a little. So life isn’t looking so great at the moment! I know I have lifestyle changes to make, and I know it’s not going to be easy because of my age (55). I just wondered if there were any other ladies around the same age who are also going through the same thing and what changes you’re making.
