Hello everyone,
I have just joined and would like to follow what is going on here. I don't know how to do that?
My GP says I am borderline diabetic and that I must lose weight and change my diet.
I am 74 years old, 5 ft 7 ins tall and weigh 12 stone 4 ounces.
Can you tell me what is the best food to eat please? I do not eat take-aways or ready meals. I do have sweet tooth which I am trying to control Thank you - Liz
Hi. I m 73. Bit under 12 st. 5' 7", Diabetes 2, now taking metformin to help sugar level. I got a blood glucose monitor, and use it to tell me what I m doing right or wrong with my diet. I find it really helps. I can actually control the level, though I do indulge sometimes. Chocs, biscuits but not often. I don't test on those days! I
Mainly eat a healthy range of foods, some meat, fish veg salad , try to avoid carbs but can't altogether leave out. Also try to eat small portions. Hope that helps. JanR
