[QUOTE="RobOwen, post: 862248, member: 170081"] Aha! I wondered what it was about your complete and informative posts that chimed so much with me. I had aspects of your current life in my former career too. Just completed week 5 on the Newcastle Protocol (NP aka ND) ;). After a bit of a recent weight loss plateau it was lovely to experience a more significant drop in a few days (4lbs over the whole week). Total weight loss in 5 weeks now 26lbs, almost 12kgs. After dropping 2 lots of BP medication over a 3 week period I felt my daily BP readings were starting to creep up marginally too much for personal comfort, so I have just re-instated 50% of one tablet and will monitor that while I continue to follow this regime. Having dropped 50% of my metformin medication I have also noticed my BG readings and averages are not as good as during the early stages when I was on full medication. They are still within the acceptable ranges for a non-diabetic so I am not concerned, but it does tend to indicate what benefits they were providing. Nevertheless if my readings are OK with less medication I will continue to monitor at this level. Like [USER=174164]@Steve50[/USER] and [USER=122246]@brettsza[/USER] I had a full set of blood tests done at commencement of this programme and will move on to 1 month of LCHF once my 8 weeks of Newcastle Diet concludes, giving the preceding 3 months of significant dietary change time to reflect in whatever the results show. I am also due a 6 monthly review with my practice DN, so she will hopefully be pleased with the outcomes too. Perversely, I'm quite looking forward to the upcoming medical appointments and hoping they will illustrate that type 2 diagnosis need not necessarily be a continuous progressive downhill slope with increased medication and deteriorating health into later years.
