Consumer series. With headlines suggesting millions are at risk of developing diabetes, Gloria Hunniford exposes how changing your diet can stop the condition in its tracks.

Gloria Hunniford and Chris Bavin make sense of which foods we should and shouldn't be eating.

Gloria reveals her own experience of being diagnosed as pre-diabetic. With headlines suggesting millions are at risk of developing diabetes, she exposes how changing your diet can stop the condition in its tracks, and perhaps even reverse it. 

Chris unpicks which fruit and veg are best to eat. After years of working as a greengrocer, even he's unsure if he's eating enough, and how those five-a-day really stack up. 

Plus a look at portion sizes, and Dr Rangan Chatterjee uncovers the foods best equipped to ward off problems with bones.
