I am not massively overweight, but I am overweight. I am a size 14 clothes. My Mum is Type 2 and I bought a monitor for her a while ago. She doesn't use it so I had it back to keep an eye on my bloods. I do a test once every three months and the last two times (last time being this morning) I have been a bit higher than usual. 5.6 and 5.4 I understand this is pre diabetic, so now I am thinking I am more overweight than I think I am and want to try and stop this getting any worse. Do any of my GN friends know if I follow a diabetic lifestyle it will be ok and if so what is one? I am Vegan so i don't have an issue with Cholesterol and fats but I do eat a lot of rubbish foods and I would like to know if there are any books I can get to help me to stop this in its tracks. There was a programme on TV a while back about an 800 calorie a day plan for a time to reverse the problem, but then what? it will be no good going back to eating crisps and biscuits every day. Would you contact your GP with this info I have or am I ok to try and sort it on my own, I don't want to bother them if its not necessary.
Just as a final note, I am not sure how I will cope without at least a bag of crisps every day (yes I know!!) can I have salted popcorn or is it the salt in the crisps that is the issue? I hope someone can help me with a bit of info.
What is a reasonable minimum spend for an online grocery delivery??
