If you are pre-diabetic the absolute best thing you can do for yourself is to go on a wholistic sugar-free diet. Quit eating prepared foods and sugarfied junk
and start eating whole grains, non-sugared vegetables, and use honey or natural sweeteners in your food. And of course, all soda pop and other junkie drinks have got to go.
Believe it or not, you're actually better-off drinking plain water. Also, if you smoke - that's got to go!
Believe it or not, some tobbaccos are sugar-cured and will trigger your craving for sugar.
You need to start treating sugar like the poison that it is!
Refined white sugar is about as naturally occuring as gasoline! If your car won't run on it, what makes you think your god-given body will? Also, there is a book written by William Dufty called
Sugar Blues. Get a copy and read it, pronto! Start taking all natural vitamins - particularly the vitamin B complex in large doses. Don't fall for the hogwash about specific B vitamins being good for you. Nowhere in nature do we find a single B vitamin, but rather, always the entire B complex. Brewer's Yeast is a good source of the B complex.
Forget about the heels until you first get your health straightened out. That'll take somewhere between 6 weeks and six months if you're diligent about it.
