sorry to say but juices and choc are going to get you big time. its fruit you can eat but juice is sugar related and it will bring it up. you could be experiences tiredness and peeing and hungary. that sweet stuff makes you want to eat more.you need to start eating more veggies and stuff stay away from potatoes and rice that si starch it will be bad for you high on vegetable that are fresh fresh fruit only 3 oz meat at meal time. its not much. take care. youhae more then 1/2 the chance of getting it alot earlier if you keep this up. water if ine for you infact its best drinking you can do.

Tap water is OK to drink anywhere in the UK. You do not need to boil it. But if you have recently come to the country it might be best to mix bottled and tap water for a while so that your stomach gets used to the change of water.
Drinking fruit juice in moderation is OK but with your medical background you should drink more water or other sugar-free drinks than fruit juice.
As regards the chocolates, find something else to eat. It is full of sugar and fat and not good for you.
If you are worried about the diabetes thing then make an appointment with a doctor and talk about it. There is no charge to see a doctor
Lastly, I would advise you not to reveal your real name in chat-rooms or forums such as this. There are some people who are not nice out there.

Yes my grandmother was a diabetic and my mother is a diabetic now. I am also showing early signs of becoming diabetic. I am insulin resistance and have an impaired fasting glucose. No fruit juice or candy at all. Ask the Dr to check you by doing a fasting glucose tolerance test. Fruit juice is a simple sugar and will raise your blood sugar. Also limit your carbs.

I am no doctor. But if you have that strong of a familial tendency to have diabetes---I'd stay away from the chocolates if I were you. And see a doctor regularly.

Boil the water, avoid sugar.
