In March I went for my half yearly blood test.Result not good.Result showed I am borderline diabetic.
I was referred to the NHS diabetic support group.Having not heard anything by the end of April I decided to do a little research ny self
About this time Mrs P enrolled with weight Watchers.My research showed the areas that put me in the danger zone,weight diet physical exercise
Weight 12st 1lb .Hight 5ft 10 so not obese
Physical exercise.Cycling. Aprox75 miles per week on three separate occasions
Diet and here I thought the problem may lay.
Out went processed foods chocolate digestives as snacks.Full English at Morrison’s on shopping day.Still have a home cooked breakfast consisting grilled lean bacon,scrambled egg mushrooms and tomatoes.Snacks are now fruit nuts.Post ride beans on whole grain toast or peanut butter on toast topped with Banana.
The biggest change is in my diet.I know follow Mrs P WW diet not as daunting as it may appear,as it is based on fresh cooked food.chicken fish occasionally red meat and salads The other change was to change physical activity slightly.Non cycling days I walk for an hour.The only thing I can’t change is my age 76.
Result no longer at risk,the changes were not major,and am enjoying the recapies from the Weight Watchers
cook book Age is another poblem eg late onset diabetes. Forgot to say my weight is now 11st 3lbs
