All cow's milk does contain carbohydrates, and it is important for people with diabetes to factor this into their carbohydrate counts. However, skim milk can be a lower- fat, lower-calorie option for people who are not lactose intolerant and prefer cow's milk.

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin. 2. Gradual stretching exercises. 3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure). 4. Circumcision (as a last resort). Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.
