Oh lovely.

I was told by my doctor today that Im pre-diabetic (and maybe have high cholesterol, they took more blood today to check it again).  My parents and both grandmothers all have/had diabetes.  My goal is to lose weight and eat better in the next 3-4 months so I can nip this before I have full fledged diabetes.  Its going to be so hard with the upcoming holidays! 

I was given a pamphlet telling me I should eat better and exercise.  But, I need to find recipes for diabetics and maybe even a low cholesterol diet.  I know eating fresh veggies and low fat everything else is what I need, but it would be easier and so much more helpful if I had recipes to follow.  Anyone know of any sites or blogs for this?

Re: Oh lovely.

  • I'm sorry. Definitely do it though. 5 years ago when I was obese I was borderline diabetic and after I lost all the weight I'm now completely normal, so it is possible to prevent. I'm sure they have some great recipe books on Amazon, and I bet you can find some good blogs for diabetics. Just make sure you don't get obsessive and treat yourself a little bit over the holidays.
  • That's awesome Caroline, thanks for letting me know you were once also borderline.  It gives me hope!

    I will check out amazon, and I have been googling today to try and find some diabetic blogs, just havent found one I like yet.  Thank you :) 

  • That sucks. Hopefully by losing weight and eating right you will nit wind up with it.
