Reversing pre diabetes

[Seizethedog]

I’ve had a massive wake up call. I am now in the diabetic range , high BP, high cholesterol. I am four stones overweight. I eat a very healthy diet and walk regularly but over the winter have done a lot less exercise due to awful weather. I’ve also had a horrible virus that has knocked me out for about three weeks.

I intend to up the exercise, have all but given up alcohol. I don’t eat junk at all or snack. What has worked for you if you have reversed all of these? I am in despair. The doctor tells me to fast but other advice is that this spikes blood sugar so I don’t know what to do.

I have back problems so can’t swim or go to the gym.

Typical day is porridge with seeds and a bit of Greek yogurt, soup or salad for lunch. Protein and veg for dinner with minimal carbs. Fruit, occasionally have pudding if I go out for a meal

doesn’t look like there’s much to “get under control” going by the above

how much were you drinking before cutting down?

Please read Michael Moseley, some of the stuff you are saying is not the most up to date advice.
There is a lot of evidence that worrying about oils for example is counterproductive. Full fat Greek yoghurt is good.
And things like carrots and other root vegetables can cause glucose spikes.
I used his method and put my type II Into remission. I used the 12 week plan and that made a huge difference.
A lot of it is about trying to get rid of the hidden fat caused by storing carbs around your liver and pancreas.
