[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 648337, member: 88961"] Being as active as you can certainly helps, but we have a number of members with limited mobility for a range of reasons. You just need to do what you can. Erm,........... Do you carry any excess weight? For many of us trimming up has made a big difference. Then, it makes sense to have a look at your diet. For most of us, we find that avoiding sugars, and keeping a very close eye on the wider carbohydrates helps immensely. The wider carbohydrates include things like bread, potatoes, pasta and root vegetables. Many of us found that last bit to be a bit of a shocker, but we have mainly bought ourselves blood glucose testing meters (little hand held gizmo that allows us to test regularly) and when we test after we eat some of those things we find our blood sugar levels rise more than is frankly good for us! For me, the glucose meter has been the most important tool in dealing with thing. It gives me immediate feedback on how I'm doing, and I wouldn't be without it, although after about a year, I now have a pretty decent idea of what I can and can't eat. Most people find this; that after a while they can test less. In pre-diabetes, it may not be strictly necessary to give up anything, adjusting quantities might be enough. [/QUOTE]
