Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mrs_Carter" data-source="post: 2409593" data-attributes="member: 544339">Ok lots to work with thereFruit tends to be a problem. Although it has lots of nice micronutrients it also has lots of glucose and fructose. Glucose is an a obvious issue but fructose adds to non alcoholic fatty liver which is part of the problem often in type 2. The worst fruit for type 2 is tropical and the best berries.I don’t eat any bread. Any colour or type still has too many carbs for me. Others find an odd slice here and there is manageable.Soups may or may not be a good idea depending on what’s in them. Beware of thickeners and root veg, especially potatoyogurt is ok if it’s not choc full of sugar to replace the fat. Plain Greek is often the best betunless it’s changed ww used to promote low fat not low carb and it matters little what time of day. In fact many people cope slightly better with carbs later in the day.prediabetes means you may not have to be as extreme as someone well into the diabetic range. A meter as discussed in the link I gave above will guide you best.  This works well not only for blood glucose but also weight loss, high cholesterol and high bp</blockquote>To be fair, in the past week I haven't touched bread AT ALL. And even then it's been the weight watchers malted stuff. There's so little of it, considering the effort of toasting it I'm better off without it. (and it's bloody expensive).Yoghurt is the 0% fat greek plain yoghurt. I treat myself to an activia peach yoghurt every now and again for a mid morning snack.I'm not a huge fan of tropical fruit, I only really eat apples, bananas, grapes and raspberries, maybe a slice of melon once in a blue moon. I'm not a big fruit eater, I prefer my veg.Soups are usually homemade in my soup maker, and I avoid potatoes/thickeners in them, usually leftover veg from a meal (carrot/cauliflower/butternut squash)There's 3 different plans now; one more like slimming world where you can eat as much pasta and such as you like, one where carbs and high fat food seem to be the big pointers, and one where literally everything has points that you just count every day. I'm on the middle one, so I focus on as much fruit and veg as possible and leave potatoes/bread/pasta etc to a minimum. I'm trying to get myself into the habit of healthy eating. A month ago that average food day would have been very very different, porridge/toast for lunch, pot noodles/maggi noodles for lunch and a huge bowl of pasta covered in cheese for tea. Not forgetting the 3 - 4 litres of squash I'd drink on a daily basis. I've done nothing but drink water for the past month!I have a lot more information to digest from your links, they have been bookmarked and have added them to my google reading list.  Thank you for your help <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[/QUOTE]
