ivenoidea those are tremendous result, well done it makes you feel tremendous doesnt it Defren i have no doubt yours will be equally as good too. Im going to have to start it again, not cos my sugars are high purely due to fact I will not be able to do as much exercise in next few weeks, went...

well quick update peeps Had a bit of a problem......played rugby yesterday and looks like ive ruptured my bicep!!! this is not good, as exercise will consist of stepper and thats all for a good while, need to get straight back on the diet, this will be a good indicator and i'll start posting...

Hi all Long time no post, few things on at minute. All seems well this end but weight has plateued a bit but starting to slowly come off again, I have bad days like everyone does but difference now is that it is exactly that a bad day(which in reality are no where near as bad as they used to...

autumn6464 From what i understand in my limited knowledge if your readings as a diabetic two hours after food are below 8.5 then that is acceptable for a diabetic person A non diabetic person is around 7.5 i think, if you check out the bgs answers on this site it gives u loads of info. I...

tooyoung your results are outstanding what makes you think they are all over the place??? you should be delighted with them, if they stay below 7.5-8 then your fine dont strive for things that are not sustainable, keep them around the 5-6 mark and youll be fine, dont beat yourself up and dont...

Hi all Been back at work cycling again which is helping my BG's had a bit of a blip i thought today but nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be. Got up this morning at 1015(worked late last night) 5.7 Went out had a cuppa and a huge muffin lol and i mean huge, chocolate, flake the whole...

Excellent results Ivenoidea, it all points in the right direction doesnt it, got to keep on it though, ive had a few fall offs since i stopped the diet but then got straight back on it and started again. Its hard as there is no definitive plan for after the eight weeks, hopefully in the future...

Re: A Geordie trying the Newcastle Diet Defren Keep going we are all adults who make choices, I made a choice to ignore my diabetes nine years ago, maybe if id took more notice i wouldnt have had to do this diet, i feel great, fitter than ever, bgs good, still losing weight but slowing right...

Hi all Just been reading your posts regarding lack of toilet time lol I found exactly the same particulalry after being so regular with the metfartin, its gone from the sublime to the ridiculous lol I think your body takes a bit of time to adjust but if you are eating the required amount of...

Hi palmygal For sure it puts the onus and ownership of our disease on our own shoulders, and it is a great start, only thing id say is make sure you contact your Health provider before coming off meds. Defren strangely just had an email from Prof Talyors research assistants asking how im doing...

Hi all Some excellent results and I think BG's can fluctuate over the day, strangely mine go up after gym but that is probably down to body releasing glucose to fuel my muscles. Life after the ND takes getting used too, I think the reality is we can never go back to old ways, we will always...

Hi all excellent to see so much gym participation. Remember every journey starts with the first step, dont expect to be able to run a marathon after one week , set yourself small short goals, that are achievable but challenging, and an excellent thing to do is to take photographs weekly so if...

Excellent news crouching but dont get complacent, i always said i wouldnt live like a momk after diet had finished and everything in moderation is ok , or so im finding it. One day of rubbish then the rest of week sensible can solve all the problems . Keep at it im back on it as i want to lose...
