Carbohydrate counting of alcohol
Common Questions and Answers about Carbohydrate counting of alcohol
carbohydrate
Wine is often made from grapes or other fruits that are then fermented to produce alcohol) In short- alcohol does have carbohydrates, but the amount of carbs varies a good bit between various types of drinks.
As for where calories come from... You can find products that have zero carbohydrates, but are still pretty high in calories. A calorie is actually a measure of energy. Basically, everything you eat requires a certain amount of energy to "burn" it completely.
When used in larger amounts, as in cooking and baking, these calories and carbohydrate should be accounted for by carbohydrate counting or by using starch/bread exchanges. As an example, one half cup of SPLENDA® Granulated contributes 12 grams of carbohydrates and 11 to 20 grams are counted as one starch exchange.
In SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Packets, sucralose is combined with maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients contribute 1 gram of carbohydrate and four calories per packet.
If food says it is sugar free but has sugar alcohol. what does that mean as affecting glucose levels?
While it is normal to have a rise in blood sugar level after a meal, excessive rise in blood sugar levels could indicate inappropriate dosage/ timing of injecting the insulin or excessive or inappropriate proportion of carbohydrate in diet. You could start by slightly lowering the carbohydrate and increasing the protein portion of diet. If this does not seem to help, I would suggest consulting your treating endocrinologist for adjustment in dosage/ timing of the insulin.
Hope this is helpful.
from what I've been told by chemists/doctors/researchers even a drop of alcohol is harmful to a sick liver, ergo the fact that near beer only has a few drops does not make it safe.
Obviously it would be safer than drinking the real stuff, but think of those drops is they were pharmceuticals. Pharmaceuticals can be extremely life altering even when dosed in Micrograms (paticles your eye can barely see)...
for something sensible like a day or two of meal plans. The big thing is carbohydrate counting so get a carb book. If he takes Humalog insulin, dose would be 1 unit per 10 grams carb. If not, you must watch the simple sugars carefully. Small amounts of fruit are okay and larger amounts can be tolerated after eating protein.
I have tried various types of drinks in an effort to find one that has a minimal adverse effect on my sugar levels. Can anyone advise me.
I have tried many times to stop drinkig sometimes giving up for up to one year but always end up back on the drink.
My symptoms also include depression, sleeplessness, and being exhausted, even while I stick to a strict diet of eating no carbs. Symptoms of sever diarrhea have been resolved by taking digestive enzymes.
Recently I have had relief from my eye allergies for about 9 months by taking large does of digestive enzymes, but the effects have since worn off.
History:
I have been tested for parasites many time and results were always negative. Tested for celiac disease, negative.
I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
I'm 3 days clean from norco and alcohol, been struggling with alcohol since my teens, got sober for 5 years then got a hold of these devils candy (norco) 2 yrs ago , 8 months after starting that I started drinking slowly bcuz I thought I was ready to be able to control it(yea right ) now it's just really bad. I have tried quitting a few times but my anxiety and depression gets so bad I go back to drinking and then here I go getting some pills!
I too have generalized anxiety and depression--in fact that was probably one of the reasons I needed alcohol so much--I was self medicating this neuro imbalance.
Anyway ask your doctor if it might be prudent for you to begin taking an antidepressant for depression/anxiety, like Prozac. Antidepressants have to build up in your blood for them to be effective , so it may take a month for them to take full effect.
I suggest you eat frequent small meals and stop counting calories. It is best to eat lots of fruits and non-starchy green veggies, go slow on fats, eat carbohydrates in moderation and increase your protein intake (lean cuts, whites of eggs etc). Drink plenty of water and non fattening fluids such as clear soups etc. Look for hidden calories in salads and soups and avoid them (eg: cheese, butter, dressings etc).
Also, you need to exercise regularly.
I went to pick up some cables and when I was counting them I pricked my finger with a cable tie which had a wire out. I bled a lot... I was literally dripping blood. My concern is that just as I pricked myself counting them the person who counted them before me to fulfill the order could possible pricked himself as well.... maybe 2 or 3 minutes before me. It is a thick wire and caused a lot a bleeding...
It is very important to drink more water and avoid the consumption of alcohol and try to restrict the intake of foods rich in carbohydrate to prevent low blood pressure.
Apart from all these, periodic health checks are mandatory to maintain normal blood pressure.

Honey is a very dense carbohydrate. Carbohydrates raise Blood sugar (BG) so small amounts of honey used rarely...
I am also on a very restrictive low-carbohydrate diet. Could this be causing the problem? What are the risks of having readings this high? What does it lead to? Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
