How can obese people with severe arthritis lose weight?

Q. I am 41, I am disabled,stage 2 dibetic I need to lose at least 70 lbs.But I want to lose 100. I hate seafood, and I am allergic to mushrooms. What can i do to lose weight?
When I say severe arthritis, I have had 4 hip replacements,2 shoulder,4 knees, and some hand surgery. I am on high blood pressure medicine. I don't believe in surgery to be rid of weight, I know there is healthier and better ways. My daughter is 13 and husband 45, all overweight. My husband don't make it easy to diet,which my daughter then follows what he says. This is her step-dad.

A. See your dietician for a good diet to help you loose weight and control your diabetes. If you are following a good diet for you diabetes which would be low carb you should be losing some weight already. For an exercise routine try finding a warm water pool in your area that offers an exercise program for arthritics or older people. I know many YMCA's have those programs and many other facilities also offer this type of program. This is a low impact type workout and with the water it is great for people with arthritis.

Is this temprory state ? and which doctor section can i go to ? what is the next symptoms of peripheral neuropathy? and is it has a side effect at eyes and sexual organs at future? and what is the medicine can i take?

A. I have read somewhere that Benfotiamine, which is in the Vitamin B family, can help people with neuropathy. You might look into that.

Here's a couple of websites:

Is it possible to have alcohol deficiency?
Q. I am friends with a girl who says that she must drink alcohol for medical reasons. She says that she lacks alcohol in her blood, just as a dibetic lacks insulin. Is this a recognized medical condition? If so, I would appreciate any info on it. Thanks in advance.
She says it isn't a drinking problem, because she doesn't actually drink at social events. I am baffled. The blood does naturally contain alcohol, right?
BTW, she was acting very serious, and I don't think she was lying.
Great answer armyvet! But I don't think she wants to get away from me... We've been friends since 5th grade...

"That is absurd.....i don't know what else to say. You sound like you want to believe that. What is wrong with you, get some common sense."

I'm sorry... you are right. It's hard to believe your longest, truest friend has a problem.

A. I tried my best to come up with some sort of justification for your friend...but in the end, my conclusion is this:
She's making up stories

I was able to find some health benefits to consuming MODERATE levels of alcohol which include (and might I add, the actual website said, "it may")

-Reduce your risk of developing heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and intermittent claudication
-Reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack
-Possibly reduce your risk of strokes, particularly ischemic strokes
-Lower your risk of gallstones
-Possibly reduce your risk of diabetes


How long can i diabetc live without food and insulin?
Q. if i dibetic didn't eat any food and didn't take any insulion how long would they live?
i didn't ask this question because i wanted someone to die. i was just wondering because i'm a diabetic. And i was just wondering how long would i have been able to live if i wasn't diognosed
P.S. I'm out of honey moon

A. The first time I had a case of the flu after starting on insulin I made the mistake of thinking that if I could not keep food down I should stop taking insulin so I wouldn't get too low. Huge mistake! I went 4 days without eating and without insulin. I ended up in the emergency room then into intensive care very close to coma and death from dehydration. So it wouldn't take long.

Which describes the difference n the care u would give to a victim who is experiencing insulin shock versus a?

Q. victim who is in a diabetic coma?
a.The basic care is the same: check and care for any life-threatening conditions
b.Diabetic coma is much more serious. Call 911 or local emergency # immediately only for dibetic coma
c. Give foods or fluids wt sugar to a conscious victim in diabetic coma but not to one experiencing insulin shock
d.Insulin shock is much more serious. call 911 or the local emergency number immediately for insulin shock only

A. The answer is A, if you don't have ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) you have a problem, however for personal ref. if a person who is diabetic is in insulin shock or diabetic coma and still concious and you don't know which one, give sugar anyway, it won't hurt anything and could improve the patient.
GOOD LUCK


what is the best way to lose weight when you have very little will power?
Q. I am in my 50's and found out that i am a type 2 diebetic and need to lose 40 -45 pounds, then i don't have to take the dibetic pill anymore. also the medicine is over a $150.00 bucks ouch that hurts. thanks for your help

A. Oh I have the same problem with motivation, what I do is I make sure that I have tons of variety. and I do it with someone else which makes it easier because you feel like your letting them down if you don't. Also, you might try doing something like 'curves' or something like that because your paying for it you'll feel more obligated to go. And with food, make sure you have pleanty of variety also. but make sure its low fat and healthy so READ LABELS!!!!!!!! Good luck :-)


If metformin is a diabetes medication what is its?
Q. use with either PCOS patients or infertility i think. I found that it regulates blood sugar in non insulin dependant dibetic people. What are the other uses for it? thanks

A. It helps women with PCOS- that syndrome brings with it a whole host of problems, including insulin resistance. Because insulin is also a hormone, by getting that hormone in line, it can be easier to get the hormones that help with ovulation in line, too. Not all women with PCOS are given met- it depends on the severity and the symptoms the woman has.


How I check low/medium glycermic index?
Q. I am dibetic and would like to know what type of food have low/medium glycermic index

A. One good place to start is here:
http://www.glycemicindex.com/

Or, you can use the same rule of thumb I do. If Mother Nature created it, it's probably good for you. In other words, most fruits and vegetables are not only good for you, they help reduce your need for diabetes medication. Since increasing my intake of fresh fruits and veggies, I no longer need any medication at all. (I'm type 2)

OK, a nutrition question. How much sugar is in Corn on the cob and is it good sugar or bad???
Q. My husband will not eat corn on the cob because he says "It's got to much sugar in it". He is dibetic? Is there a web sight that tells me how much sugar is in corn ect???

A. 75% of the sugar in corn on the cob will turn to starch within 24 hours. .... The real problem with it is that it's high in carbs, and carbs raise your blood sugar.....There are alot of books available for diabetics, with tables of all ingredients in fresh, frozen & canned foods (by brand), and even charts for alot of different fast food & restaurant dishes


do visitors in uk from abroad over the age of 70 have to pay for NHS treatment?
Q. my parents have come to visit us in the uk from pakistan . both of them are over 70 years old. they are dibetic . can i register them with my gp and do they have to pay for the prescription.

A. No visitor, of any age, is entitled to free NHS treatment, consultation, or medicines, except for immediate hospital treatment in an emergency. Even then, if the emergency leads to the need for any ongoing treatment, that will be charged for. So no: your parents will have to become private fee-paying patients of a doctor before they can get any prescription, and then they will have to pay the full retail price for their medicines.
