Some really good information in there, and especially hearing about Carlos' story is kind of amazing. Had no idea it could trigger such an extreme turnaround with such an advanced state of the condition. Thank you so much for the encouragement-As long as I'm keeping my mind always focused on the end goal of this diet I always feel a lot better.I agree that a lot of this Newcastle approach seems to focus on 'resetting' your body and maintaining to prevent sliding back into the condition, so the steps I take upon completion will be critical. A lot of thinking has gone into what's next already.For some reason I thought I would find many people undertaking this diet, but I've come to realize that time has come and gone on this forum..So hopefully I can inspire a few people to join up! It really isn't that bad if you can get creative with the constraints.So updates:I had started this diet without my doctor, so I decided to follow up and fill her in on what was going on. Understandably I was nervous about bringing it up, because I was worried she would shoot down such an extreme plan. However after a frank discussion, she put her stamp on approval-Which seals the deal for the rest of the time I'll be under treatment. There are already plans to discontinue more oral medication, the next on the list being my Januvia following Metformin if the diet has long lasting effects (pending future tests).<img src="http://i.imgur.com/dp1kWJy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />She will be running a battery of advanced tests on a cellular level to gauge my progress, as well as the usual blood work. That should be late February, coming towards the end of treatment. Look forward to sharing what might happen there.Blood sugar today was in the low 80's again. And today was Friday, so I treated myself to not one, but TWO cheat meals.......<img src="http://i.imgur.com/fOxflnF.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />One pretzel snap! Hahaha. You guys would be amazed at how delicious this was. I made this little ****** last a whole 5 minutes as I raved about how flavorful it was. My wife gave me an odd look or two<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Added nutritional info for the lols.<img src="http://i.imgur.com/9ZwSj4i.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />(Sorry for blurry pic)Also had an extra salad tonight! Added in heart of palm for some extra flavor, and it was delicious. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Been experimenting with a few new recipes, look forward to sharing soon. Anyways, hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Stay healthy, stay determined.</blockquote>
