Are any of you in this position thanks to our terrible genes and carb heavy diets?:) Interested to hear about your journeys. I am 50, am 5"7 and a size 10-12, so hardly huge, but was diagnosed as pre-diabetic two years ago. I reduced all rice and rotis, cut out sugar completely, and am now normal. But I realise it's going to be an ongoing battle because my family is full of relatively slim diabetics.
I find doing without rice really incredibly hard. Have replaced it with substitutes like quinoa, cauli rice, bulgur wheat and so, but still dream of it sometimes...
