[QUOTE="ph1, post: 1770178, member: 135972"] I reversed it using the Newcastle diet 4 years ago. I had to take 2 months off work. I lost 4.5 stone, down to 11.5 stone. I tested my ability to produce insulin by drinking 8 pints of Stella(strong lager) on a night out. On my way home I was starving due to over production of insulin and my instantaneous blood glucose reading was 3.8. I could eat Mars bars, fizzy drinks without high sugar levels. This was true for the next 9 months until I gained weight, back to 15 stone, then I went ‘roughly’ back to being diabetic. The Newcastle diet indicates that they believe there is a threshold weight when you start becoming diabetic again. The diet supposedly removes fat from your pancreas and enables the pancreas to function correctly. Regaining weight replaces the fat and you’re diabetic again. I think there is s massive difference between being cured and remission. I was temporarily producing insulin properly but weight gain caused the return of diabetes. Btw I eat and drink whatever I want and haven’t gone back to the typical blood glucose readings I had prior to the Newcastle diet. In fact my hba1c has been below the upper limit of 52 ever since 2014 even with the weight gain, although my instantaneous readings will reach double figures (I reached 33 prior to the diet and my hba1c was 117). Hope this helps. Regards Paul [/QUOTE]
