[QUOTE="dazzer1975, post: 305311, member: 47461"] After reading a couple of other threads, I thought it may be pertinent to add that this is a diet, a very severe restrictive one designed to mimic patient's diets post bariatric surgery. After this diet or "Newcastle Study" as some insist on calling it (purely semantics), regardless of bg readings and weight lost there is a need to alter lifestyle and make suitable changes for the duration of my life. For me the changes required will revolve around taking regular exercise and eating a generally low carb diet (well, that's the aim, but a diabetes diagnosis I am learning is quite the motivator). I can't say yet exactly how low, but I will be excluding bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and sugary veg such as sweetcorn etc. These are all my ideas and my management of my disease, of course, things may change as situations change, but for right now, this is my plan. It seems fortunate for me that this is exactly the kind of diet i naturally gravitated towards pre diabetes if i was looking to lose weight. For me, I have the freedom to try this free from medical supervision for two reasons, it is the diet I would have tried anyway, and I only knew I was diabetic because of my own actions in buying a meter and testing myself, meaning I could have gone undiagnosed and been unaware for a considerable length of time. I have the added benefit that I am now employing this diet from a position of greater knowledge than what would otherwise have been the case. Worst case scenario, this diet is one less thing to try in what will no doubt become my life long management of this disease and my weight. I think I should also add that I was probably diabetic within the last 5 years (Professor Taylor states the subjects were diabetic for "upto 4 years") "There is good reason to believe that longer duration type 2 diabetes can be reversible, although after 10 – 15 years of diabetes it is likely that not everyone will be able to achieve a return to normal glucose control despite major weight loss" Type 2 Diabetes is reversible after bariatric surgery (, as this diet attempts to emulate the post bariatric surgery diet, then this method of calorie control to give your long term lifestyle changes a jump start has to be worth exploring, for those who feel safe and confident enough of trying it. Reversal is a big word, personally, my expectations are lower, don't treat this as a one shot silver bullet deal, the hard work will come after this 8 week period. What I will say though, is just read the paper from Professor Taylor, for me, being newly diagnosed and overwhelmed with an influx of info about how bad my health is, it provided and provides a glimmer of hope to hold onto and that we are in control and we can help ourselves. After watching what this disease did to my father, I simply can't not try this. I will end with this quote taken from Professor Taylor's paper: "This study demonstrates for the first time the time course of a return of normal beta cell function and hepatic glucose output by acute restriction of dietary energy intake in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The changes occurred in association with decreases in pancreatic and liver triacylglycerol concentrations. This new insight allows an understanding of the causality of type 2 diabetes in individuals as well as in populations. It carries major implications for information to be given to newly diagnosed patients, who should know that they have a potentially reversible condition and not one that is inevitably progressive." *edit* just to add, for those considering it is worth reading this (and providing it to your doctor if you choose to inform him) paying particular attention to item 5 for contraindications regarding complications.
