Your other post says that your HbA1c is 54, which is not far into diabetes territory. Many of us have been diagnosed with much higher numbers, sometimes in 3 figures, but by changing our diets, becoming more active and losing some weight (if necessary) have managed to turn things around and in many cases come off medication.
Ditching the sweet stuff is good, although if you like it extra dark chocolate (70% or higher) it's generally considered to be OK. I have a square or two of 85% dark most days.
i try to save my bread until my main meal but usually its a small portion of home hade lasagne with any green veg & cauliflour
i also dink lots of water with an ocasional diet coke.
I have posted a link in your other thread which may help as you are being quite restrictive but perhaps not going for the best choice with pasta which is high carb and then adding bread which is also high carb.
Thank you , I’ve had a link that I’ve looked at and has some really good tips and advice, I’m new to all of this but I’m so glad I found this forum as it’s helping me to understand the science behind eating , I have a follow up in October, I’m hoping that i will have made some good healthy eating habits for life by then and possibly be in remission, that’s my goal at least , I gave up smoking 13 years ago and was in a mindset that it was ok to have a pkt of biscuits or a bag of sweets as ccompensation, how wrong I was .
