[QUOTE="auburn, post: 2162169, member: 177359"] Hi, can I chat here? :) Type 2, pills and diet controlled. Though not always well controlled.... I was referred to the Counterweight Plus program by my diabetic support team. I've been seeing an obstetrician for around 18 months now to get myself in the right place for hopefully starting a family. In that time, I have lost around 3 stone, and reduced my average BG reading from 14.5 down to 9.6 today :) The obstetrician team want me to lose another 2 stone and ideally get my average BG to 7-8. So still a way to go, but I'm proud how I've done so far! I'm now on Day 21 of the Counterweight plan and I'm doing alright. It sounds quite similar to the Newcastle Diet - a total food replacement where I get 4 shakes or soups a day, for 12 weeks. No chewing in these 12 weeks. Then a gradual reintroduction of food, supported by the CW team of dieticians, and diabetic nurses. I've amazed myself with how well I'm doing, not eating normal food. It's fine when I'm at work and I'm busy. When I have a routine. And Saturdays, I'm busy doing things. Sunday afternoons/evenings are REALLY long though!! Trying to keep busy tonight. There are limited flavours. 4 shakes (vanilla, banana, chocolate and forest fruits) and 2 soups (veg and mushroom) so I've been adding various herbs, spices and sugar free syrups to add a bit of variety. Just wanted to have a "safe place" to talk. I think I'm driving my husband mad with it haha! [/QUOTE]
