Just read this thread and umm not another reversal/cured discussion... Did think about just ignoring it, but I'm a sucker so here goes...
@douglas99 If you are going to do it just do it... I didnt find I was short of energy and I was off all meds within the month and doing a lot of exercise every day. You have enough reserves and that is what you need to burn. I am with the others - whilst you are soaking up the meds and pushing the carbs you aren't proving anything to yourself except that you can live fairly normally for now (hope it continues for you for a long time to come) and that may be all that you need for now and good for you and there is nothing wrong with low GI
So please no more nay saying some of us are lucky enough to have caught it at the right time and turned around our condition to such an extent that we do not suffer from the symptoms of diabetes in any of its forms. We are the lucky ones and I know it rankles some feathers (sorry for that) but we should be shouting from the tree tops for people to try it on diagnosis as it is 2 months for the rest of their life’s and what have they got to lose.
my post was about doug, taking drugs so he can eat more carbs and they going on about how his diet is terrific and so much better than others, IMO both doug and ford are just here to wind people up@douglas99 @jack412 @cold ethyl Well one of you had better tell Professor Taylor this then. The Newcastle diet is not a cure - just doing the same job as metformin. It will save him wasting any more time. Still not quite sure how Pipp managed to have an extended carb fest whilst still being 5+ stones overweight yet kept non-diabetic BG's though. My own diabetes has not been reversed/cured but I'm willing to believe someone else's has, yet I would usually call myself a cynic.

I found my energy levels increased when on Newcastle diet.

Yes I agree with you here. I would give up the drugs before eating more carbs. Sorry, I just don't like Pipp taking flak because the Newcastle diet was a success for her. She's had too much of this already.my post was about doug, taking drugs so he can eat more carbs and they going on about how his diet is terrific and so much better than others, IMO both doug and ford are just here to wind people up
I'm cool with Newcastle diet getting the IR gone and having a normal GTT
Why would it offend people? You don't need to lose weight and your BG's are always under control. Of course you're happy the way you are - I would be too if that were me.The Newcastle diet was only open to participants who had been diagnosed under 4 years and until the new study gives results then we really do not know if it will work for all.
It seems to me to be more about weight management and I haven't got any to lose.

I manage mine without medication, eat roughly 120 carbs daily and have never had an HBA1c out of the fives for 11 years.
I do not want to do the Newcastle diet because I am happy with the way I am. If that offends people then tough.
Awwww, Pipp. I was doing so well, being out of it for a full how many moments?
To be honest, I'm not sure I've lost much pancreatic function, if any, but then I also know I'm too chicken to actually test it out in the big, bad world. I have considered a C-Peptide test, privately funded, I expect.
As I trimmed up, my levels moderated pretty smartish, making me wonder if I actually just had quite extreme insulin resistance, as I never cariied a huge about of excess. Since trimming up, my levels are pretty low, and well within the non-diabetic ranges. I reckon I have a fair bit of leeway before I'd see diabetic numbers, but for now, I'm not driven enough to see where my personal envelope bursts.
Of course, one day I might just snap and really go for it.
it didn't work for all in the Newcastle test, neither does the gastric operation..it works on some/most people and we don't know long term outcomes yetThe Newcastle diet was only open to participants who had been diagnosed under 4 years and until the new study gives results then we really do not know if it will work for all.

I did read a bit of the Professor Taylors link but will read it all through properlyAnnie - If you read the threads I posted, some people do have sustained non-diabetes levels; with or without carbs.
In Professor Taylor's information, he talks about food consumption after the very low calories phase. You might find that interesting.
@AndBreathe, I don't think it sounded flippant at all. In fact, I am quite flattered that you read and took notice of the points I made regarding 'reversing diabetes' in earlier posts.
The carb fest, was a few months ago, and was triggered by nay-sayers and doubters on forum. Not pleasant, and very hard to stop wanting more of the addictive carb ****** food when you start. So much so, that I am still struggling to get over it. The result of indulging in such bad habits is that I am not able to lose the weight I need to to avoid getting to the sort of weight I was when I tipped over the limit into T2 blood glucose levels.
The good news as far as I am concerned is that I have now notched up three years of non-diabetic blood glucose readings. This is despite still being around 5-6 stones too heavy. As you have put in the links to threads I won't go into too much detail, other than to say that Newcastle diet seems to have worked for me. As I get older, and if I do not get weight under control, I may find myself in trouble again. However, no matter what amount of carb junk I consume, so far my blood glucose does not get spiked. If this had not happened to me personally, I too would be sceptical about it, because it does sound like one of those 'miracle cures' we see in tabloid press a lot. I know that it took me a while to convince myself to try it when I first read about it. Having read all of the academic papers I realised that I had nothing to lose, (except perhaps the diabetes and a few stones) by investing 8 weeks of my life in an experiment that could literally give me years back of healthier life. I am glad I did.
