However, my blood glucose levels have drastically improved. I need to lose about 20kg. The dietician said I wasn't eating enough carbs so I'm not losing weight. Wrong! I also rarely eat fruit. Great discussion about fructose here: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/healthreport/stories/2007/1969924.htm and it emphasizes the importance of fibre and exercise and talks about fructose metabolism. As a result of the way I eat (under 120 carbs a day, but do better under 80), I'm on much less insulin than most for my weight. I do have one weakness - good quality dark chocolate. Still grappling with that one, and I certainly don't have it every day. But... my issue is that I have other autoimmune diseases (arthritic) as well, and exercise is a form of torture. Somehow it must be added, and not for burning calories. I try, then I'm down for days. No swimming pool anywhere close. Pity. Any suggestions of what I can do for very low impact exercise? Walking is out - too painful (needing a knee replacement, and have arthritis in my spine). Would Yoga be good? I'm also one of those with super-high cholesterol - have had as long as it's been measured. I refuse to take statins. Fish oil isn't making much difference. Not sure what will - even a vegan diet years ago didn't make much difference. My liver seems to really good at dumping glucose when it's not required, which of course, raises my insulin needs. So really my overzealous liver is likely the problem. Would really appreciate some advice.
