Good enough for me as I was desperate to impact my weight and improve my Diabetes.When I commenced the diet on 27 December I was on 1000mg of Metformin with evening meals I weighed 105.5kg/232.6lb with a BMI of 31.54 and my average BG was 7.62 with a range of 10.3 - 5.4As of the 31st January I have lost 10.5 kg/23.2lbs my BMI was 28.4  my average BG was 5.1 with a range of 4.3 - 6.2. I stopped taking the Metformin after 2 weeksI have used Optifast shakes and Vegetables pretty much as indicated in the diet. There have been some very hard moments (mainly staring lovingly at my favourite white carbs) but the weight loss and BG readings are very encouraging as I move along.I have another 4 weeks to go and will post my weekly results each Sunday. I should add what a great resource Diabetes UK is especially the forums and thank many of you on here from whom I have taken many ideas and will do as I move thru my journey with Diabetes</blockquote>
