There is masses online, really all you need is the imagination to think about how to present the information, then Google how to do so.

Unfortunately from a carbohydrate PoV nearly all beer is worse than dry wine. :(

I accidentally gave up drinking almost completely! I got a bad cold, don't drink when I have a cold, 3 weeks later realised I didn't miss it so unless I'm out for a meal or have some over to eat I don't drink. What I did find is that it was a habit marking the end of my employer's time and the...

You can't in normal activity. Tough cycle rides aren't normal for most of us, and any of us who watch endurance sports will have seen the odd person bonking.

You have several threads, so the advice you are getting is spread around.

Could you be pre-menopausal?

At 17 stone, that could be quite bad for your joints. Walking is better - walk up hills if you want more of a work-out. Of course if you walk up you have to walk down as well, which has the benefit of being eccentric exercise - you are lengthening the muscles under load and applying a braking...

It's a marathon - a life-long marathon - not a sprint. My weight reduced at about the same rate as yours, and my HbA1c gradually came down. Stick at it, however: "I haven't eaten bread, white pasta, cereal, cakes etc. since getting diagnosed. However, I do drink about half a bottle of red...

How about simple walking, from your front door? It's cheap, and brisk walking - enough to be slightly out of breath - is good exercise albeit not whole body.

:D:happy::joyful: Yes, Private Frazer!

Or a rowing machine? Rowing is great exercise, uses the core & upper body as well. Only drawback is it's not weightbearing in the same way. Good treadmills, rowing machines & static bikes all seem to be fairly expensive.

Might you be confusing calories & carbs? Carbs is shorthand for carbohydrates, fats & oils are different. The body metabolises carbs - all carbs - to glucose hence their impact on BG. Fats & oils are metabolised by hydrolysis into fatty acids and glycerol which don't impact BG.

The amount of carbs in things like rice, bread & pasta is way more than in most vegetables. Eating a zero-carb diet, if possible, would be very tricky. However considerably lowering your intake of them by reducing or eliminating potatos, bread, pasta, cereals, etc. can over time make a vast...

Reducing carbs does reduce calories, and many of us can lose weight just by going low carb, without watching calories.

Does your dentist appreciate how much this is impacting on your life? And can you get to talk to a pharmacists? Here in the UK all pharmacies have a qualified pharmacist who one can talk to. If you can afford goat's milk yoghurt you might find it doesn't cause lactose intolerance. Yoghurt in...

There is nothing special about turning 40 - or 50, or 60 or 70. Make changes you can sustain your whole life, not for 2 months.

Your pain is stopping you get adequate nutrition. The juices contain carbohydrates in the form of sugars, and there is no protein there. You need protein to heal. In my view you need to ask for better pain control. There are liquid pain killers, and also suppositories which is a very...

Not carbs, but protein, fat and a good variety of vegetables are all needed to gain weight, and to gain muscle mass you have to do appropriate exercise.

The control comes when out shopping. As there are few carbohydrates in my house, and the only takeaway in the village is a not-great Chinese, not eating many of them isn't too hard. Also I'm old enough that take-outs aren't a habit I grew up with. I would eat whatever at the wedding and get...

For example? If we know what they suggest it is easier to think of alternatives. And do you have a liquidiser or blender?
