Diabetes Review

I have recently started the 14/14 week national pre diabetes course, spread over til June next year. I was shocked when I got the result of a blood test which was for something else, because I exercise, always eat healthily and recently lost a stone, but have had to accept it.

Problem is I have started to want food I dont usually eat, but now I want to eat. Chocolate, bread etc, craving it now is terrible timing.

I am at the low end of pre diabetes on 42 so don’t have too far to go but would like a bit of wriggle room, under 40 perhaps. Fingers and toes crossed I stop craving what I should not eat.

Wildrose, just tell the nurse the truth, they will have heard it all before and they can’t help without knowing how you feel.
Good luck at the appointment.

My DH type 1. He has a libre sensor. He also likes coffeemate. I didn't know there is a sugar free version. Coffeemate is very expensive we buy the one in Home Bargains which is considerably cheaper. He is 11 and a half stone. I find crisp packets in the bin after he takes the dogs out for walk. He also has a weakness for liquorice toffees. But he doesn't care for cakes and sweets. He also has pancreatic insufficiency so has stopped drinking and has a low fat diet. He remains remarkably cheerful!
