Pre-diabetic diet
« on: November 29, 2022, 02:32:14 PM »
 >:(  ::) so I had bloods recently that raised alarms.  Apparently.

Cutting down to 1 stick of 'twirl' at lunchtime for pudding and 1 large glass of apple juice in the afternoon.  Because T makes me bloated drunk anytime after 1.30 p.m.  :-\.  I also have bottled fizzy water.

Been for a long walk. Now home, feet up in front of the fire.

I've been pre-diabetic for years and I am such a saint when it comes to food and drink, I have no bad habits anymore (boring as hell) but sometimes these things are heredity with my cholesterol levels also high.

My annual blood test is due soon, happy days!!  ::)

I’ve been down this road with OH.  He was sent on a course on how to change your diet.  No chocolate, biscuits or cakes.  No fruit juice except cordial and that has to be no sugar cordial.  Only 2 pieces of fruit a day.
Very boring

What is it that the blood test showed up? I'm waiting for blood test results as diabetes is certainly something I don't want having seen both my brother and my mum develop it. The diet can be strict  :(

Something that I need to bring up when I get to see either the support nurse or GP - the phone line was so bad that I couldn't hear or understand some of what was being imparted  >:(. The blood test was for cholesterol as I take statins.  Compared to those taken 2 years ago ....... numbers slightly elevated but I can't remember which tests.

Alcohol is allowed as long as it isn’t beer/lager.  Only dry wine and spirits contain very little sugar. OH doesn’t smoke.  Exercise helps.
Tea and coffee are fine but not with sugar.
Diet drinks are fine too.
Wholemeal bread not white.
I have never spent so much time checking labels.

So you might not actually be pre-diabetic. Fingers crossed for you. I read all of my results online nowadays.
