Is anyone else on here to loose weight to prevent diabetes?
What have you tried?

    I haven't tried any diabetic programs per se but one of the reasons I'm losing my pounds is not only because I miss performing belly dance/burlesque but also because diabetes runs in my family.

    If I stay at my current weight and keep my old bad habits I would surely be diabetic by 38.

    My uncle is a severe diabetic (like keeps insulin in the fridge) and he has to follow the Glycemix Index and eat low GI foods (that will keep his blood sugar low and keep him feeling fuller longer). Fruit/dairy is eaten in small amounts, as are breads (not excluded entirely but kept to a minimum)

    Lots of Veggies! Here's one of many links that come up if you search "Low GI Recipes" in a search engine: http://www.glycemicgourmet.com/low-glycemic-recipes.html

    All the best!
