I've just purchased some ketone urine test strips. :)

Well after 1 week on the Newcastle Diet I'm not going to deny it's bloody difficult. Mainly cravings for crisps, which were my downfall. However I have lost 3kg and my best blood sugar was 4.8 so at least the hard work is paying off.

Well day 3.. 2 hours after eating and my sugar is 5.2. Not going to deny I do feel very hungry though.

Day 1. Had a mahoosive blowout at the Italian on food and drink yesterday night (it was my wedding anniversary) and started the diet this morning. Meal replacement shake. 500ml 400 calories made with zero sugar almond milk. Can use water if I want. Interesting I took a pre meal blood glucose...

That's scandalous! They fudged the figures!?

I guess what I have to ask myself is IF it's successful for me how I approach my diet going forward, I'd wager I would have to look at low carb in some form.

Pardon me but what do you mean by "oil?"

Overwhelmed by the wonderful advice. Thankyou all

Excellent question and yes I do have high Triglycerides, thankyou. At least that makes it seem a wee bit more applicable now.

Thankyou. I'm going to do the shake for breakfast and Tea (we don't call it dinner up north ) but I'm dehydrating some chilli Tofu and spice baby plum tomatoes to give me a snack for my dinner (which sime if you call lunch)

That's certainly worth considering thankyou. I couldn't stick with the vegan diet unfortunately. When I got Covid I was left with a few issues too, such as I suffered permanent hearing loss. I are what I could at the time and went off the rails with it all a bit. It's my intention to give this a...

Thankyou I just checked my results in the NHS app and as well as my testosterone and hb1ac I do have a biochemical result as "normal".

Hello Thankyou for the comprehensive replies. My family has a history of being predominantly slim but with fatty organs. Also my grandparents both were taken by pancreatic cancer and to be honest it frightens me. I've 4 lovely children and happily married and I'd like to think about my long...

Fair play, thankyou for the reply, I'm merely guaging responses from anyone who's tried it and their experiences, therefore I apologise if I gave the wrong impression.

Good evening. I've been a Type 2 Diabetic for around 14 years now. I take 1000mg Metformin SR and 1mg Dapagolfozin per day. I'm 52 this year and slim build and always argued (as my family history has dictated) a fatty liver/pancreas problem that I believe to be the main root to my condition...

Massive thankyou for the most comprehensive replies. Supplemental is my insurance policy if you will. Eating clean is my way forward.. (That can conjure an opinion or two![emoji4])

Hello Just wondering. I'm trialling coming off Metformin with my Doctor's blessing and taking a dietary approach with supplements of cinnamon, probiotics and plant sterols.. Question is..Is there a best time of day to take them or not? At the moment I take the lot when I get up. I could be...

Well what can I say. Thankyou for the flurry of responses, advice, experiences and suggestions. That made most informative reading. I've been off the Metformin for a week and to be honest I feel great and I'm losing some abdominal fat too. Of course I'm liasing with the Doctor about this in a...

Honestly never heard of a type 2 injecting medications before. My apologies if this sounds terribly naive of me. I'm also looking at how to reduce my blood pressure before they pressure me into stations as it's a little higher than normal.

Just probiotics? Nothing else? Thanks for the flurry of other replies. Sincerely appreciated and any further advice or help to get off this ****** medication gratefully received..:)
