    Are you drinking plenty of water? Carbs hold water so a low carb diet can dehydrate you.

    Prediabetes I'm fairly new to glucose testing and wonder if someone can answer my queries please?

    I think BMI is a waste of time. Is your waist less than half your height? is a better indicator.

    The Hovis "Low Carb" bread

    Waitrose or order online at Ocado. It’s part of their range of healthy eating. They also have some low carb pasta options. Monitoring can be a good idea for some people. Personally I got a Libre for a month and tested everything I was likely to eat. Will do the same over Christmas. It depends on...

    I use livlife bread all the time 3.4g of carbs a slice. I would look carefully at seeded crackers though all the ones I’ve found are over 50% carbs.

    Weight Loss

    In my opinion there is no reason that you can’t have more than 3 meals a day, in fact you may find more but smaller meals easier to handle.

    Foods equivalent for the Newcastle Diet?

    I think the main thing is the 800 calories and not the details of what it’s made up from. I’d pick whatever you can put up with for 8 weeks rather than which is closest to the original diet. I think the shakes where just used for convenience and to easily track individuals during a study.

    Should I test myself?

    I would but it’s your choice at the end of the day. I can’t see what harm testing would do but I can see what harm being diabetic and not knowing for a year would. Better to fix it early rather than allow damage to occur.

    Is it harder to start a new relationship when your over 40

    You will never know unless you get out there and find out. You could start by getting involved in a few group activities maybe something that involves a bit of exercise but anything with the main goal of widening your friendship group. Join a gym class, learn something new, volunteer, something...

    Can you please give suggestions about our prototype?

    I think I would want a number rather than just a colour. I wouldn’t do something that is limited to children but a monitor of some sort is probably the way to go. A cheaper version of a Libre or any CGM, would sell well I think. Either a watch app using a light similar to pulse readers or a...

They only warranty ones that have been put on your arm, but how would they know, others have put them on stomach, leg, etc It should be ok in the shower unless you forget it’s there and knock it when washing.

    Freestyle Libre

    I would ask to return the 3 faulty ones for replacements and continue with the others to see if they are also faulty. Their 14 day rule does not apply legally if the sensor is faulty. Speak to trading standards if you have further problems. I have fallen out of love with Libre some time ago. I...
