Hey everyone! I’m Verity, newly diagnosed with pre-diabetes and just waiting to start on the Healthier You programme in Cheltenham. It looks like for me pre-diabetes has been triggered by chronic stress so I’ve a lot to work through... Honestly, I’m a bit daunted by it all - it’s a massive...

Hello, I'm in-between blood tests to confirm prediabetes and have been given some reading to do in the meantime, hence finding this forum through Diabetes UK. I had gestational diabetes when pregnant 15-16 years ago and should have looked after myself much more since then but unfortunately, I'm...

Hello, I come from a longline on diabetics and I appear to be due my ‘inheritance’ (why couldn’t they be wealthy landowners instead!?) I’m mid 30’s recently diagnosed pre diabetic, my father is now insulin dependant type 2 (diagnosed at my age) and mother is type 1 diagnosed a few years ago at...

Hi, I'm really struggling with low weight issues (BMI 17.5) zero energy, and now diagnosed as Prediabetic - borderline, I think, HbA1c 42. Practically everything I read about T2 emphasises low carbs, and usually losing weight, which is the last thing I need! I have a very iffy relationship with...

Hi all, I am pre diabetic and write and cook recipes of my own which in a lot a cases would be fine for T2. Removing the processed food from your diet is relatively easy but it could become boring so I set about writing recipes that were low carb no processed sugar and healthy to eat. That...
