[QUOTE="Hiitsme, post: 1340448, member: 181310"] Hi [USER=364654]@NonStop[/USER] and welcome I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will post some good info for newbies. I was diagnosed with a fasting reading of 18 and a very high HbA1c. I also did a lot of reading and was very interested in the Newcastle studies. My GP wouldn't support me to do the Newcastle diet so I did my own way of losing weight. I tried to eat 500 cals less than I was burning each day. As my blood sugars were so high I also worked out which foods my body couldn't cope with by testing and cut out those foods. So a double angle approach. I was losing about 1 to 2 lbs a week on this. My BMI went from 25 down to 19.6 and was then told by GP to put on weight. Even having put on some weight I still think I have ended up with some control though I'm not sure I have reversed it but do think I have it under control. I would suggest getting a meter and testing so see what different foods do to your body. Testing before a meal and 2 hours after. I'm sure that helped me but then my numbers were far higher than yours. [/QUOTE]
