Prediabetes Grocery List on a Budget: What to Buy and What to Swap
Practical ideas for building a more balanced supermarket shop without making your food budget unnecessarily expensive.
Read guidePrediabetesBasket is a UK supermarket shop analysis service for people managing their blood sugar. Review your eligible Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda or Ocado online shop before checkout, or forward your online receipt or order confirmation afterwards, for simple, personalised feedback on your weekly shop.
One-time free introductory analysis — a simpler first look at your shop. Paid membership gives you a much more detailed, personalised Basket Review.
Create your PrediabetesBasket account, complete the short onboarding, then forward an eligible online supermarket receipt to receive your introductory analysis.

Educational guidance only — not medical advice.
Food labels, conflicting advice and hundreds of supermarket choices can make it difficult to know what matters in your normal weekly shop.
PrediabetesBasket looks at the shop you actually buy. Review your eligible online supermarket shop before checkout, or forward your online receipt or order confirmation afterwards, for simple feedback on the whole basket — not just one product at a time.
From creating your account to practical guidance in a few simple steps.
One online receipt. Your whole weekly shop analysed.
No barcode scanning required.
Set up your PrediabetesBasket account in the app and complete the short onboarding so guidance fits the way you actually eat.
Shop as you normally would at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda or Ocado.
When your supermarket emails your online order or receipt, simply forward that email to your personal PrediabetesBasket receipt address.
PrediabetesBasket reviews the food items in your shop and turns them into clear, practical guidance.

Currently supports eligible online shops, receipts and order confirmations from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Ocado.
Your Basket Review gives you:

A simple score out of 100 gives you an at-a-glance view of your overall basket.
Traffic-light guidance helps you quickly see what's going well and what may be worth looking at again.
See why an individual item has been highlighted in your shop.
Where it helps, an alternative you could try instead is suggested.
Changes don't have to happen overnight. We can suggest smaller, realistic steps too.
Household, toiletries and other non-food products are recognised and kept out of your food score.
A full Basket Review can explain why an item has been highlighted and suggest practical alternatives or smaller changes.
The aim isn't perfection. It's helping you find realistic changes you could actually stick with.

Tell PrediabetesBasket about your food preferences and foods you'd rather avoid so suggestions can be made with those choices in mind.
Because a food swap isn't very useful if you were never going to eat it.

A full Basket Review brings the most useful points together into a straightforward takeaway for your next shop.
