Hi Didie Thanx for this link it really helped answer my question :D

Hi all Can someone explain to me why my b/s reading is higher after I've been on the treadmill? :crazy: I drink during exercise so shouldn't be dehydrated. Is there another reason for this? thanx xx

Thanx everyone - By a lot I mean 2 or 3 tins daily OR 6 large fresh tomatoes. It doesn't affect my b/s reading but I suppose what I meant was could it be affecting my health in general. I have had Gall Bladder pain for about a week now & it could be the acid that Viviennem mentioned. :?

Can anyone tell me if eating a LOT of Tomatoes is bad for me? I mean a lot! Thanx xx

thank you all so much for your encouragement. It's been hard because I have a big appetite & am greedy as well :oops: so cutting down this much has been a struggle. BUT I am very determined this time to stick it out until I reach my target weight of 9st 9lbs. It's a dream I am gonna make come...

:D end of week 2 on the Newcastle Diet. Fasting this morning reading was 5.6. this is amazing for me because 2 wks ago it was 19.5 & sometimes over 20. Weight loss this week 6lbs.... 2 week total 13lbs. It's not easy but it's working. Yesterday was my worst day & I really struggled not to eat...

thanks Grazer & Phoenix :wink: that all makes sense now. my glucose levels have gone from being very high for a prolonged period to being almost normal - thats with full medication - so i'll need some new glasses very soon ........

Hi ..... can anyone relate to this? :crazy: I have been wearing glasses for about 10 years (distance & reading) I started the Newcastle diet 1 wk ago. After 6 days on the diet my eyesight improved! I can now watch tv without glasses & today I drove without them............... Puzzled!

Yay - got weighed & I've lost 7lbs week (1) great news. Even better news is my b/s fasting was only 7.8 going from 19.5 a week ago! I'm determined to stick to this diet. Started gym (very gently) today. :D

thanx for the welcome Mary :P

:D hi everyone - this is my 1st posting to the board. come from a family of diabetics - limb losers - & early deaths - diagnosed over 16 years ago. I started the newcastle diet 6 days ago & am already seeing benefits. On Metformin @ 3 x 850 + 4 gliclicide + 1 sitigliptin. I was not in control...
