ASDA strawberry with either water or milk. made half strength so that I can have twice as many, and HOT, makes it seem more filling for me... Lots of water, lots of home made soup and raw veg and cooked veg. Had the above today plus some chocolate, (2 'penny' teacakes can't resist chocs). Just...

Well done. You seem to be doing the right things. Keep up the exercise. When I did the Newcastle diet everyone was supportive, but now, after, it's harder. People still see that I've lost weight but don't realise it is an ongoing thing. I keep on putting the weight back on, and it wasn't...

Hi again, autumn here. My ASDA shakes have been reboxed and gone up to £4.50 per round container, you now have to mix with milk rather than water, it it is sweeter. The strawberry one is in a purple container with pink slashes across, "ASDA meal replacement strawberry flavour milk shake 200...

I think you would be OK to tell the doctor you want to try to lose weight and eat the right things rather than go on meds. I went for months to the diabetic nurse before they put me on metformin, which was fine for a while and then I got 'the runs' a lot. I then went on the newcastle diet and...

Just an update, on the newcastle diet I didnt get rid of my diabeties, BUT last year at this time I weighed 10.5 stone, and my HB1c was 44mm. I've been for my results today, a year on, trying and mostly failing to get back to that weight (I'm 11.8 today) my HB1c is 45mm. and I am over the moon...

Re: Off to GP tomorrow, all the signs and BG fasting tested What a rotten time of year to find out, so sorry. Get a diary specifically for diabetes info, take it with you to the Doctor/hospital, ask ask ask questions, and write down their answers, (I forget what's been said if I don't write...

Well I didn't restart the diet, but I haven't put on weight after two xmas dinners and two buffet style parties, I'm still 11st 3 lb.. So - don't watch this space until January as far as I'm concerned. It was a bit silly really thinking I could. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Hi All No-one posting on here, I hope you are still on the diet Geordie, I can't seem to motivate myself, so will wait until after Christmas but not go too mad at Christmas. Unfortunately I have to go in hospital in January or February, so not sure it is wise to start the diet on 2 Jan as I...

SOOOO good to hear from you. Hope you can motivate me AGAIN. I've put on 10lb and lose a little then put it back on. I am doing more exercise. I am finding it hard to motivate myself and I think I'll try a little and keep below 11 stone (10 13 as I speak) but begin the newcastle diet proper...

Yes, I saw it - very interesting. He also did a Horizon piece on exercise, which my doctor told me about, basically one of the things you can do is run on the spot for a minute, as fast as you can, (harder than you might think). I did the Newcastle Diet, lost a lot of weight and now am trying...

Just seen one of my old posts, during my holiday fish and chips made my bg rise to 7.9, this last time, albeit with flour instead of batter, but plus a cointreau, it was 5.9mm. What cant' speak can't lie, I think the Newcastle diet has worked for me to a certain extent.

I didnt know this - thanks. Thanks for the info about ketones and Atkins flu, didnt know that either, I'll study what you say when I have more time (bookmarked this thread). I've just had fish and chips today and after two hours my BG was - 5.9mm I've just come off the newcastle diet...

I dont like the sound of only artificially lowering BG, I thought I had stumbled on something I could drink. Today I had fish, fried but in flour not batter, chips and mushy peas. I also had cointreau and black coffee (which tasted awful - too sweet - I'll not have again and I'd been so looking...

Do you know I probably didn't. My friend found out a member of her family was ill (mobile phones can be a curse) and when I got up she was quite upset, so out of usual routine. I never thought of that. I might have, I don't know. I did see a post (on this thread?) someone had a drink and it...

Hi all confession time I had to shorten my holiday with my girlfriends to just one night, I went Thursday and came back Friday. Our son stayed with his dad Thurs night, husband not getting better very quickly at all, and I was the only one who had a car available and who could drive. So...

As Defren says, keep updating us, we learn from you and you learn from us. I was/am using the ASDA shakes. I came off the diet 22nd June ish. I am half on it to keep my weight down (and my blood sugars). I am now pre diabetic (says the doctor) and I am controlling it with diet. I have never...

Saw the doctor (not the nurse who said I was still diabetic), HE is very pleased with my Polycal test results, I am in a grey area, not diabetic but now pre-diabetic. I told him I was on the diet again to get below 11 stone and he thought that was good. This morning I had veg soup for my...

just searched for "abbreviations for diabetic terms " and cme up with exactly what I wanted.

Well the op is behind you, so - onwards and upwards. Is there any exercise you can do that will be OK, using your legs perhaps? Good to hear you are to post again, its been lonely on here. I've just hit the 11 stone, so gone back on the diet today until I can fit into my new trousers again. My...

No-one posting but me on here now, sorry for my bad news last post, I rang the nurse as requested and as I thought I am still diabetic, but my 3 month (Bac?) test was very positive and I am controlling it with my diet. The nurse said me being upset wouldn't have had any effect on the test. My...
