You should probably talk to your doctor about intervention before you develop full on diabetes. I was prediabetic but I lost a bunch of weight and cut out sugar and I’m fine now. ---

I was last in the hospital at halloween so the snack table always had candy on it. The snacks there were way too high calorie anyway. ---

I went from pre-diabetic to diabetic. Then I changed my diet and lost weight. Now I’m in the normal range. A1C of 5.5 (in USA) I say in USA because the UK measures it differently ---

Peanut butter is perfectly fine. I consume it sparingly because it’s high in calories I usually buy the natural kind, not the ones with added sugars like Jiff or Skippy. ---
