Even Further Than Newcastle

Interesting article. But the content is nothing much new. It speaks about low carb diet and moderate exercise. For some guys articles like these might provide some inspiration.

Now coming to the title of your post - 'even further than ND diet' - I was curious to see what is 'further' thing, I did not find anything to that effect. IMHO, ND diet is more structured and has proven track record over the years.

I am not playing this article down, but what needs to be done is - there should be one table - showing different cases in different rows with corresponding, prescribed diet+exercise regimes. Then it will be useful.
 
Very interesting, thank you for that. I am a "thin" (almost at the critically low BMI level) T2 and have been keeping to a low calorie (low carb) diet which keeps my glucose OK but doesn't allow me to eat any carbs so an extremely restrictive diet. I have bought a treadmill but will now be a more frequent user!!! I am elderly and have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis so can't do HIT but have horses so am fairly active. I now need to use the treadmill after every meal instead of just sometimes after my evening meal although I have recently cut out the evening meal and don't eat after lunch time which varies between 12,30 and about 3.00 pm.

I will try and start tomorrow with the increased "treadmilling".

I found it very interesting as well, especially when you look at his background. Mathematics professor at cambridge, how he researched everything on his own, how he with the help of his brother, a professor in medicine, managed to organize dinners with leading diabetes experts and then carved out his own path. How I understand it is that he is very in favour of the lowcarb diet approach, as long as it leads to weightloss. He also talks about traditional lowcalorie diets, and how the weightloss they induce lead to diabetes remission.

The most interesting part is how he talks about bloodsugar and exercise. He mentioned how he lost lots of weight on a lowcalorie diet, but that exercise was the alpha and omega for him in defeating diabetes. That really stands out for me, so this is a great propoent for that physical aspect of diabetes management.

Would be cool to see this guy in a debate on a tvshow I reckon.
 
This sounds interesting. I have tried the ND with moderate success in reducing insulin resistance, but my BG have stayed stubbornly in the 6-7's. I confess I haven't read a lot of the detail around the ND, I did find it very useful in enabling me to lose 26lbs, and so was unsure how it affected T2 on insulin. Having read this article I am now inclined to believe that it doesn't provide the same answers as if you are not on insulin. Having said that I have managed to reduce my insulin intake by 75% so I am classifying it as a success. I just need to understand the next stage if I am to improve it any further. My last HBA1C was 6.4 and the doctor thought my control was excellent for someone on insulin, but like everyone else I would prefer it to be a lot lower and without the need for insulin to maintain it.
The article also provides some expalanation why my results didn't appear to correlate with others.
