[QUOTE="Cricket Lover, post: 416901, member: 76618"] Hi Lessci Don't be disheartened your weight loss is good, it will take time, but it does take will power. I'm finishing my Newcastle diet today after 8 weeks, I have lost 30lb taking me from 12st 9 to 10st 7, I'm 5ft 6 1/2, my bg when diagnosed in January was 28 & I was really feelng very unwell! when I started the diet my bg was normally in range 6.5 to 9 but had peaks over 13. my average 30 day from my meter now is 4.7. the diet reduced my bg down to readings under 5 within 2 weeks, but think that increasing my execise has really helped. It has also helped my bp which is now regularly between 100 to 120 over 60. The diet might work for you, it is simple so no calorie counting just meal repacement shakes/soups & 250gm's of green veg a day, quite extreme but I found easy to manage, no confusion over what you can & can't eat, I also found that daily bg testing & weighing my self was great as I could see constant improvements which kept me motivated. Good luck [/QUOTE]
