@DrSophieGP how much smoking is dangerous for prediabatics? What will affect quit smoking?

[@DrSophieGP]

@@adnana.shahban4151 it’s really bad news, so definitely a key focus should be trying to stop smoking

[@user-bi5pz8uw8x]

some great advice from a professional thanks for sharing this great advice

[@DrSophieGP]

You’re welcome. Hope it was helpful.

[@lilysmiles3195]

Once you are prediabetic even if you get your blood sugar back in the normal range you still cannot eat like people who are not diabetic or you will be prediabetic again. You must keep to a good healthy eating pattern

[@DrSophieGP]

Yes, like I say in the video, these are long-term habits you need to create, short-terms diets don’t work!

[@michelelisa1420]

Never to enjoy food ever again

[@DrSophieGP]

@@michelelisa1420 This is all about creating a healthy relationship with food, where you can enjoy all the food you eat! Watch my weight loss series for more info.

What happens when people have diabetes and they have numbness n they are not in the mood to do sports no energy..its not good... Pray and God will bless u with strength energy

[@DrSophieGP]

I would recommend tiny positive changes daily, making small steps is easier and set goals for the future.

[@Loveistheway-prayalways.]

@@DrSophieGP Thank u Drc Bless u🛐

[@Loveistheway-prayalways.]

Some people are skinny and they have diabetes high cholesterol H.B Also the question is what must they do? What kind of plant diet do u suggest Doc💜🌹

[@DrSophieGP]

Some people are more genetically susceptible, despite not being overweight. The advice I give in the video is key, find a sensible balanced diet you can stick to forever and try and make movement a habit in your life 🙌🏻

[@siiwok]

what about pre-diabetes/borderline CFRD ? is the prevention same as borderline type 2 diebetes?

[@DrSophieGP]

In general yes, but may require specialist CF input.

[@michelelisa1420]

What about insulin resistance

[@DrSophieGP]

Insulin resistance can also be improved with lifestyle measures

[@Loveistheway-prayalways.]

Dear Doc not everyone I know with type 1 and type 2 are heavy weight at all Sometimes I think something else is going on! When Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth our Lord and Saviour comes back He will tell us what's going on Amen ❤ Maranatha Till then we r obeying the Good Advises of kind people & Docs and nurses 😃 ( angels)💐💐💐

[@DrSophieGP]

Type 1 diabetes isn’t linked to being overweight, but type 2 is, especially excess weight around the middle.

[@munasheandeliandallmyfam4023]

What I've learnt in life is that being overweight puts you at higher risk of getting diseases but being skinny doesn't mean you're immune😢

[@DrSophieGP]

@@munasheandeliandallmyfam4023 Thats definitely true! Size doesn’t always relate to health.

[@lindadurrant43]

can you inc exercises for wheelchair users plz

[@DrSophieGP]

There are lots of workouts on KZbin you can try 💪🏻

[@muzerhythm2242]

I lead a wellness class with seniors and found exercises from easy to more challenging on KZbin. Easy....Sit And Be Fit, Stretching....Tai Chi Health Products ( I do a 10 min one daily...feels great. All can be done sitting as well), for more of a workout...Drums Alive (they use drumsticks and a ball or chair. To adapt can use pencils and drum on the back of a chair or table.) Hope these help stir ideas.😊

[@michelelisa1420]

I just eat to survive, never enjoying anything

[@dagmarvandoren9364]

Always feeling guilty....i know....its,soo stressful....i ga ve then. A glass of white wine.....and feel guilty. Again...hmmmmm

[@DrSophieGP]

Please do watch my weight loss series, really important to try and gain a good relationship with food.

[@siiwok]

fasting is bad

[@DrSophieGP]

It’s not so black and white. I have a video going through the pros and cons, take a look!

[@YazAhmed-br2oh]

Quite the contrary, fasting is extremely good for you.

[@YazAhmed-br2oh]

Everybody has different tests in their lives and, that is those individuals tests.

[@dazeja]

Type 1 is completely different. It’s when the pancreas doesn’t create insulin at all or very little. It has nothing to do with bad dieting. That’s why children can get it also. You basically have to get insulin artificially. Type two diabetes or pre diabetes either comes from bad diets or it can be hereditary as well.
