Hi guys
I had my review recently with the diabetic nurse at my gp, it was a new nurse who had moved from another practice and she was very friendly and informative.
The last nurse i saw was trying to encourage me to go to slimming world and i suggested that it wasn't ideal given the fact that having been on SW previously it was carb rich.
When the new nurse took my weight etc and gave me my results (which were a bit higher than the last time) she told me that the practice were looking for some type 2 patients to go onto a trial, the practice are actually paying for a 12 week course of cambridge 121 for 10 patients that have type 2 and are overweight and im pleased to say that i have been accepted for it.
Ive got an appointment this and next Tuesday with the nurse again to get more measurements etc then will be starting it.
I have to say ive been sceptical of these diets as they are very low calorie, ive had people trying to punt herbalife etc to me on the past but ive checked out YouTube and google for success stories on this plan and it looks like a lot of people have had success with Cambridge.
Im looking forward to it as i do intermittent fasting and never really eat until dinner time anyway so i think a low calorie diet will be fine for me and will (hopefully) work wonders.
Have any of you guys done this before and has it worked for you? Im looking forward to seeing the difference when i start it and im determined to boot the type 2 into touch
