I saw a whole lot of things coming by in your thread and I'll try to touch on a couple, though many others have too by now. The thing people aren't too thrilled about is skimmed and semi-skimmed milk, they're a tad carbier than the full fat kind. Cream, yoghurt and cheeses, all full fat, would have fewer to no carbs in. There's the light versions, but usually when they take fats out to make it light, they put carbs in to make it taste like something, and more filling, so light products are usually to be avoided, with very few exceptions to the rule. Far as meats are concerned, sausages and the like can indeed be loaded with fillers, but the good quality stuff isn't. High meat content's perfectly fine. Should be on the label.Something to do, maybe: make a list of what you'd usually buy, check their nutritional information on the supermarket's website and see if there's alternatives that have a lower carb content, or whether it's already fine as-is. It spares a few hours spent reading labels in the shop, and coming home with a head of lettuce and nothing more, out of sheer discombobulation. For just about everything there's a low carb version... I mean, ever heard of Oppo ice cream? Just saying.Also, long distance walking might be a better bet than cycling... Strenuous things can cause the liver to "help" by dumping glucose, so it can actually up blood sugars for a bit. Walking -NOT running!- at a steady pace for a while'll keep your liver from dumping, but it can get your blood sugars down in case of, say, a stray potato finding its way to you. After dinner walks for digestion purposes, eh. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I've actually interrupted a little dinner with my inlaws once because I didn't at that time know that chinese tomato soup is liquid sugar. So I walked it off when my head went all fuzzy on the hyper. Couple of quick walks around the mall the restaurant was next to, and I was good to go. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> You're rocking this thing, just so you know.Jo</blockquote>
