Speaking to Woman’s Weekly, the broadcaster said: “My doctor said I was pre-diabetic and told me to take my life in my hands.”. Her meal plan now involves key staples, low carbohydrates and avoiding sugar as much as possible. “I’d dieted before, but going on a medical diet gives you determination,” she said.
“I’ll have egg or sausage for breakfast, but no bread. It’s soup or salad with fish for lunch, and in the evening I’ll replace potatoes with cauliflower, which has the same sort of crunch,” she said. “I cut out all the sugar I could. I gave up bread, pasta and potatoes,” she said, adding that she sometimes treats herself to a glass of wine or champagne.
Pre-diabetes is when someone has blood sugar levels above the normal range, but not high enough to be diagnosed as having diabetes. This is known as non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, or pre-diabetes. According to the NHS, people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but the risk can be reduced through lifestyle changes recommended by medical professionals.
