[QUOTE="Hiitsme, post: 938216, member: 181310"] Hi I think I'm in a similar position to you. I did not try the Newcastle Diet (although I read all about it and followed with interest those doing it) but lost my weight by trying to eat 500 calories a day less than I was burning. My blood sugars were dangerously high to begin with but as I lost weight they gradually came down, fasting readings mostly in the low 5's. Now I'm in the position I don't need to lose any more weight. Diagnose BMI 25 now about 20. My fasting readings have crept up to 6's. and 6.7 this morning my highest for many months. I don't seem to be spiking after meals only a rise of about 1 point, sometimes less but everything seems to be about 1 point higher than a month ago. My carbs are normally between 50 and 100 though I do seem to be able to cope with a few more now without spiking so I would be very interested in how you do. I can't see how my last HbA1c of 33 could be right as my fasting reading were only low 5's and I know on a couple of occasions I spiked to 10 in trying out increased quantities. I've spent the last 3 months trying to slow my weight loss down and now need to stop losing any more weight. I found it easier to control blood sugars while losing weight and it seems you did the same. Can we help each other in any way? [/QUOTE]
