Hi Paul Thanks, your experience helps. I was hoping for more rapid drop in BS and to be able to quit the regime at 8 wks. Now I will have more patience. I am happy with eating sensibly and healthily normally, for me it was not food that did the weight damage but beer! I love a pint or 2. In the...

Hi I am type 2 3 years in. Last annual review showed a rise 8.4 Hba1c so I am going for the big one, the Newcastle Diet. I have read so many positives on the site I am convinced it can help.
