    Help. I'm high.

    Thankyou for the reply. In terms of planning post Newcastle Diet. I'm definitely leaning towards a fast. I've seen one by "Mastering Diabetes" that's 24 hours. (Not a problem for me) Or the time restrictive 16:8. I'm trying to work out which one would be the best for insulin resistance. But as...

    If the Newcastle Diet says 800 calories a day.. Is there a guide to how many grammes of carbohydrates we should be aiming for?

    3½ weeks in and I've lost 5 kilos. Sugars much better too but I could murder a Massala!

    Help. I'm high.

    Something I think I have to.come to terms with is the distinction and preference to managing Type 2 Diabetes very well, reversing it, and being in remission. Is as much about personal.hoals as it is about where the official line is between those perimeters. Lots to think about. But if like to...

    Help. I'm high.

    Hello. So the good (I'm guessing) news is I'm back into Ketosis after a frivolous few days in Whitby. Looking the referral version of the Newcastle Diet (by your Doctor) I note the shake phase (1) is 3 months whereas in the book and common study this period is 2 months. Has the advice changed...

    Well I was back at 10.this morning and just drank water. By lunchtime I was down a bit but again 8 too high considering last week I was averaging 5.3. Staying with it! Definitely acknowledged that low carb has to be a way fires at the end of it, or a 16:8 perhaps. Thankyou all once again.

    Help. I'm high.

    I've just tested again through nothing other than drinking a pint of water I'm down to 8.5 so at least I'm moving in the right direction. The sad thing is it's a timely reminder that I'm Diabetic and can't be frivolous.

    Also after getting back on the wagon I tested my ketones and there definitely a colour change on the stick so hopefully I can get to normal range soon. I mean whats the alternative to the Newcastle diet? Avoid Carbs? Vegan? Carnivore? ‍♂️

    Thankyou for the most helpful replies. I think if the ND doesn't work out I certainly know that carbs are not my friend.

    Help. I'm high.

    Help please. Last week 3 weeks into the Newcastle Diet I was averaging blood sugars around 5.4 Now I met my daughter on holiday and I had a night on the tiles and the following day and for the last 2 days I've been over 10, even after walking. I've come home and started to drink loads of water...

    Newcastle Diet question

    Good morning Two weeks in now and I have a question please. I tested with urine strips and all left week I was in Ketosis. I was finding shakes bland and started to make healthy plates whilst being mindful of not exceeding my 800 calorie a day limit. I drank at a function at the weekend which...

    Newcastle Diet question

    Message from the Doctor (the same one who endorsed me starting this last week) said we wouldn't recommend Dapagolfozin and the Newcastle diet due to risk of Ketoacidosis. "Well yes" I said to the receptionist, "that's why I asked, I saw this Doctor 7 days ago" They went on to advise if I was to...

    Newcastle Diet question

    Thankyou. I await a call from the Doctor to review my medication. I don't necessarily trust this process to be forthcoming but I'll call again tomorrow if I don't receive any correspondence from them.

    Newcastle Diet question

    Good morning. Day 9 of The Newcastle Diet and I tested my ketones this morning, they were 1.5. Interpretation of this is new to me so I had to turn to Google which if I have this correct means I am in "ketosis". I was left to believe in my ignorance that ketones in your pee were a bad thing if...

    Newcastle Diet question

    Did you get the results you desired from it and may I ask if you're taking anything at present? Forgive me if that's too personal and discard.

    Newcastle Diet question

    Question please people, but please don't strike me down if it appears reckless. I've lost almost 4kg so far and admittedly having a wedding anniversary in the middle of this wasn't the best idea so I did get a little tipsy. It's not the easiest diet to manage because of cravings which I've tried...
