[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1563396, member: 100904"] Hello [USER=436960]@DaveSyl[/USER] You have achieved a great weight loss already, (well done) but if I understand you correctly, you still have spikes in blood glucose after eating some foods? This suggests you need to restrict carbs, and continue testing BG regularly. I am not sure that my experience of Newcastle diet can be of use, as our circumstances are so different. I am a woman, old enough to be your mother, and not able to undertake strenuous exercise. Also, I chose the ND method as a last resort after other weight loss / diabetic control had failed me. I did not lose all of the weight I needed to, but have managed 6 years under diabetic BG levels, though the last 18 months or so have seen me getting close to that HbA1c 42. For the first 2 years or so following ND I was able to eat high carb foods with no problem, other than by eating them I craved more. That is the difficulty for me with carbs. They are addictive and cause weight gain. If you have read the Newcastle literature you will be familiar with the term 'personal fat threshold'. It is likely I am approaching mine. I don't tend to have spikes in BG, with any foods, but I have seen an average increase overall so need to be cautious. I do prefer low carb foods now though. Back to your question, ..... Will it work for you? Only one way to find out. You have the food replacement products. Only you can decide if it is worth 8 weeks of your life. I mentioned I am old enough to be your mum. If you were my son, I would tell you to go for it, but don't worry if you decide to call it a day before the 8 weeks are up. You already have a regime set up that is giving you some success at controlling your diabetes. That could be all you need. Over to you, but best of luck whatever you decide.
