Pre-qualifier, starting off, this will be a rant. Holy cow does it cost money to eat healthy 🤬. Trying to change up my diet due to some health issues. Went to the grocery store today and oh my God! Now I see why I’ve been eating this way for years 🙄.
Ok rant over. My insurance covers two pre screenings a year and I try to take advantage of them being a cancer survivor and at high risk for colon cancer.
Anyway, last visit a few days ago, doc threw out the “prediabetes” word. And showed me where my A1C has been climbing over the last couple years. Basically told that if I continue with my current lifestyle in a few more years I’d be type 2 diabetic.
My doc’s wife is also a doc and dietitian. She’s likes the Mediterranean diet to reduce A1C. So I’ve researched the Mediterranean diet briefly and went to the store to stock up on some healthy foods.
Anyone here doing the Mediterranean diet? If so any suggestions and tips?
