And of course, reducing sugar intake. When my Mum was diagnosed back in the '60's, my sister and I also gradually cut back on sugar. Less sugar in tea, working towards no sugar in tea. Less sugar in cakes and baked goods to the extent that someone at work once said she wouldn't eat my yummy orange and almond cake, made with almond meal and extra eggs instead of flour, because it wasn't sweet enough for her. Oh well. Everyone else loved it. :-D
