[QUOTE="the Boissetarian, post: 416699, member: 74062"] I am Diabetes 2 diagnosed 2009. I have been following the "Fast Diet" or 5:2 diet as it is also known; since June and have lost just over 5kg. Before starting this way of eating my HbA1c was 8.1% and my blood sugar levels medium to high on a regular basis. I was taking Stagid 3xday (metformin); novonorm 23 x day (repaglinide) and Diamacron (glicalzide). During the first month I got down to just taking the Diamacron twice a day and my blood sugars were getting lower on average. I saw the GP after the first month but he did not think it was a good idea to stop the other drugs and put me on a month trial with just the Diamacron. I believe he thought my blood sugars would rocket. The month ended last week and I had a full blood test. My GP is now confused as the HbA1c was down to 7.3% and overall the blood sugars levels were averageing 8mmol/l. He has written me a new 3-month prescription for just the Diamacron. This diet suits me as I am never very hungry in the mornings so eating little does not bother me, but it would not suit everyone. I am going to continue with what I think is more of an eating style change than a diet and my aim is to lose another 5kg over the next 3 months Valerie Wright [/QUOTE]
