Like I said in my post I'm not an expert about what the numbers mean but on my results that the nurse printed for me it does give some guidelines which may help. I haven't done an internet search but I imagine most of this is fairly accesible. I'll try and keep this reply updated when I find...

Almost! I'm trying not to get carried away, I know that there is a lot of work required, it's a marathon not a sprint. It's now a question of keeping going and developing those good habits. But, I feel so lucky to have been diagnosed in time to reverse/control my diabetes, at this point in time...

I was diagnosed with T2 in late April with a HbA1c of 74 mmol/mol. Today I had the results of my first 6-month review and it was 30 mmol/mol! Also, my cholesterol is down - despite high fat eating (or because of it?) Serum cholesterol was 9.9, now 6.9 mmol/L Serum triglycerides were 8.5, now...

Just had my 1st 6 month review HbA1C is 30 mmol/mol (down from 74)!

I can't say that I found this article compelling and it doesn't provide enough references to support its arguments but in the interests of seeing the other side here is a link to a Guardian article "Butter nonsense: the rise of the cholesterol deniers"

I think I'm right in saying that Doctors have to give you copies of all of your past results if you ask. I got 10 years of history when I asked. It sounds like you've had experience with being disciplined and losing weight in the past so I'm probably just reminding you of something that you...

I know it is early days but I would like to "stand up" for the "I've reversed my diabetes" and the prospect of a complete cure. After 1 month of <800 calories, real food , low carb diet (as per Dr. Moseley) my blood sugars started responding normally (i.e. fasted and 2hr after meals were within...

I was diagnosed with T2D earlier this year and followed the 800 calorie low carb diet (as per the Moseley book). It worked for me; I think it likely that I have reversed my diabetes i.e. my blood sugars are now totally in the normal range (fasting and 2 hrs after meals) even when bingeing. Like...

I have a friend with cancer. He is now underweight and in order to face an operation needs to put on weight. Putting on weight with carbs will feed the cancer. If he is in ketosis then (hopefully) the cancer will not be quite so happy. So, he doesn't need to worry about putting on fat. He...

Many thanks for your reply, I think it pointed me in the right direction with regard to the exercise level. I woke this morning with BFG at 4.1 feeling a bit woosy, had 16g of carbs and felt immediately better and then went on my walk, one hour after eating and my BS is 5.0. I have been in...

I'm type 2 and in week 5 of 800 calories (real food) and my bloods have been normal since week 1, now they are often in the low 4's and a few times have dropped into the high 3's. I've had a lot more energy this week and have been exercising more because of it but I had a pretty extreme energy...

That sounds like good advice, unfortunately not possible with my CFS. I have had times when my CFS has been in remission and I was even able to work part-time for a year or so but most of the time I've been house bound and unable to exercise at all. I'll make a note of your advice so next time...

Thanks for the reply and your explanation made perfect sense. You are right, I'm not having problems losing weight at the moment that is the reason why I'm planning to stop the crash diet before the 8 weeks are up. Restoring pancreatic function was the main goal and that trumped possible...

Hi, thanks for the reply, it's always good to know what works for other people. The 800 calories is/was just to stay as close to the Newcastle protocols as possible but now I think I've hit the reverse tipping point, there is no reason to push the weight loss, steady loss (if I can do it would...

Hi, I'm Peter, I was diagnosed with T2D 5 weeks ago and I've been following Dr. Michael Mosely's 8-week Blood Sugar Diet and reading stuff on the forum. I'm male, 49, just over 5'6 & weighed 15.5 stone at diagnosis. I've had M.E (Chronic Fatique Syndrome) for the past 20 years which is, I...
