Well done on the changes. Your GP should be able to direct you to access some support with the stopping smoking, not something I’ve been through myself but I’ve heard it’s more effective to stop with the support of a stop smoking service rather than just trying to go it alone.

Welcome to the forum @JaffH
Sounds like you are off to a great start!
Do you have close members of your family who live with diabetes? How did you discover you were at increased risk of diabetes?
Have you had an HbA1c check (which is likely to be a number between 42 and 47)?
Hope the tweaks to your menu are going well. There‘s a low carb meal plan here which might give you some ideas

Low-carb diet and meal plan
Eating a low-carb diet means cutting down on the amount of carbohydrates (carbs) you eat to less than 130g a day. But low-carb eating shouldn’t be no-carb eating. Some carbohydrate foods contain essential vitamins, minerals and fibre, which form an important part of a healthy diet.
