Newcastle Diet? I have heard it is like 28 rounds being beaten up by Mike Tyson. Did you find it difficult to stick to? I very much doubt that if I were type 2 I could even go near it.[/
It worked for me.
Thank diabeticliberty how are you today
BG at 6.41am was 12.00 - kind of fell off the wagon last night. When working away from home eating is difficult.
You've been grafting like mad and running your own legs off and turning in some excellent numbers. One little wobble ain't gonna do you in
I am not doing too bad thank you. I would of course be a whole lot better if it was Saturday morning or even Sunday. I go through a curious routine on Friday evenings. I get home from work, sit down, blink and all of a sudden it's Monday morning again. Just doesn't seem at all fair. How are you too?
Dear OrsonFor me , after a year of testing multiple times a day, adjusting what I eat and what I do, having done the Newcastle diet then stuck as close to a low carb lifestyle as I can morning sugar levels are a very good indicator of my progress. I find it very, very useful . I can see that at an earlier stage more was required but now I am inspired by those who can maintain good levels. Hey thats my thoughts .....
Dear Orson
In your case, unlike a newly diagnoses diabetic, you have the experience to know what works for you and the confidence to make informed decisions. If you find that monitoring just your morning levels because you know having tested previously how your levels behave, I have absolutely no issue with that.
In your shoes I would probably through in some tests of pre and post prandial levels on the odd occasion just to make sure that everything continues to be as expected. But you may feel that this is not necessary and that fbg and I assume periodic Hba1c are sufficient for you purposes.
I am good thanks i might do a bit of Christmas shopping
My son-in-law does MMA - that's a tough game. Very demanding, both physically and on your lifestyle. Respect.Naaahhhh I was rubbish and lost my last one. The others weren't too bad but they were against little old ladies and kids under 5. It was a million years ago and I have now settled into a life of beer and chips Infinitely more rewarding and I don't get beaten up
Regarding blood sugars, there's nothing wrong that I can see with your own
