[QUOTE="Allell, post: 2449693, member: 549290"] I’m also 55 and going through the menopause. I found out in August that I’m prediabetic. My GP didn’t even tell me but luckily I checked through some blood test results and spotted it. When I finally saw a doctor he told me to lose 25 lbs but didn’t advise how. I’ve read everything I can find on diabetes and healthy food choices and have so far have lost 17lbs. I too love chocolate but thankfully do like dark chocolate. I’ve been really strict though and haven’t had any added sugar since I found out. I’m hoping that when I get a repeat blood test my results will have improved. Until then I will keep being strict about what I eat. I dramatically reduced my carbs, so no bread, potatoes, pasta or rice. I’m veggie but like widgets above, I’ve introduced some fish just for health reasons. Read what you can on low carb and get some meal ideas from the diet doctor website. It seems loads of people have had success with this way of eating. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
