Started on the original shake one but found that i cut down to 1 or two and just have extra veg and salad. I came off it at the weekend there because the results have been poor and my levels are in the 20's now !

I am in my 3rd week of the Newcastle diet but found that my glucose levels are consistently in double figures e.g. between 11 and 14 throughout the day. Is this due to fatty liver dumping or am I probably going to have to consider a more aggressive medication package ? Currently on Metformin...

Has there been any updates as to the circa success rates with the Newcastle (or similar) diet ?

Yes I am doing the 800cal 3 shake a day. I cannot 100% control the soup ingredients .... but i can, to a degree, control the calories through not having a shake and doing some excercise ?

Like I say I am at the mercy of the galley .... my thought process is ultimately it is a calorie driven diet so if i sacrifice a shake and/ or do some excersise calorie wise i am still net less than 800.

Not done gravy but done the rest. Its really more something to mix in with them.

That could be a factor and worries me a wee bit.

Struggling to come up with new ideas for making veg/salad interesting ..... its a real struggle. The novelty of spiced sprouts has worn off now lol I had a morning 6 today which is at least a drop ..... will see how tomorrow goes.

The husks also help to add a bit of substance to the shake ..... great heads up ..... I got this stuff .... I assume its ok? http://www.amazon.co.uk/JustIngredients-Psyllium-Husks-1-Kg/dp/B00I9X4Z9M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1459113994&sr=8-4&keywords=psyllium+husk

Thanks for the link .... seen something similar but that is a bit better presented.

Nipped out and got some ketonestix and they are normal so looks like I am not at the ketosis stage ?

Its the Tesco ultraslim shakes which have a fair bit of sugar but all of them do I believe and others have used them. Issue is these are morning BG's with the last shake consumed the previous night .... more than enough time you would think to get me back to norms.

8 and 10.5 Historically my morning BG is high and then drops throughout the day even with meals etc.
