Hi Stu,
You said:
That is pretty amazing! I get plastered if I have three glasses of wine.
I suspect you must be quite fit metabolically to be able to get away scot free with all that.
Many of us find that cutting down on beer, sugars and starches helps control blood sugars better.
Is socialising important to you?
What do you like to eat?
Any chance of getting you out of the pub and into a gym?

when I stopped smoking (Jan 07 - 'only' 20 a day!) I put on 1.5 stone. Had always been 12 stone 9 before now 14.5.
I use the gym hard 3 times a week. Can't loose it.
Re the drinking, I dont as much as used to because of retinopathy. After a reasonable sesh I normally have a little bleed :cry:
Just eat well. If low carb suits you then stick to that. Go to get a bit of exercise too. Lowers BP.
