[QUOTE="Steve50, post: 859589, member: 174164"] Day 49 - fasting blood down to 5.4. No more weight loss. All good. Great to see so many of you guys on this blog. Re FBG readings - I have found that blood meters vary considerably from one to another. If you can compare your readings using a second meter, it would be interesting to see if they are the same. Fasting blood readings can also be effected by the DP [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/dawn-phenomenon.html[/URL] so - try taking a reading before you go to sleep and another in the morning. (Apologies for stating what you may already know). I found that a ridiculous amount of water during the day really flushed out the system and gave me a low reading the next morning. We have one of those filter jugs - I think it is about 1ltr. I emptied it 3 times - and had other drinks as well. Constant peeing - but it seemed to really work for me on the FBG. I also understand that the effect of the ND is not in the weight loss itself - but in the 'rapid' weight loss. It's not so much about losing weight - but where you lose it from. The liver and pancreas - in particular, need to be cleared out to below your 'personal' fat threshold. While I have banged on about BMI etc...that is only a goal for me because I can see it. I cant see my liver or pancreas - but I can read the numbers on the scales.
