[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1907116, member: 410240"] Remember that there is no great long term harm from having BG upto about 10 for a short time (few weeks) if it enables you to change diet and lose fat. And that it is [B]you[/B], not your doctor that controls what goes into your body. It is clearly better to aim a little higher (maybe 7 or 8) so there is no need to have carbs due to hypos. Hopefully your specialist nurse will be of more use than your GP. From what I understand of the Newcastle diet, a lot of liver fat is lost over the first few weeks and this (along with reduced food) results in a great reduction in inslin requirements. After the first few weeks the inslin requirements will change slower. Start to think about what you will eat after the 8 weeks, most people on this site (with type2) find that some type of low carb diet is the best long term option, but the Newcastle Diet can be a very good way to kick-start the process of putting type2 into remission. Given how long you have had type2 it may not be possible to ever come off all drugs, but nearly everyone finds they can get much better BG control while also reducing the drugs they need. [/QUOTE]
