OP,

Have you gotten your A1C tested? With those habits, I'd be shocked if you weren't already pre-diabetic. Please first go to the doctor and get bloodwork, because if your A1C is elevated, you will need a real plan, not DCUM.

I used to drink sweetened tea several times a day, and eat lots of chocolate, but my son was just diagnosed with pre diabetes and this was motivation enough to cut the sugar. I now drink unsweetened tea with milk, and very rarely have chocolate, or anything with added sugar. I've added whole grain carbs into my diet: whole wheat bread instead of white, barley or brown rice instead of white, whole wheat pasta, etc. My son tries as well, but his college dining hall isn't well equipped to deal with unrefined carbs, so he's eating more protein and veggies, and fewer carbs, to lower his A1C.

If your family is fine with not having sugary things in the house, this is what's going to help you most. My husband unfortunately still brings sugar into the house, and sometimes it's hard to resist. He's so annoying!
