[QUOTE="slinky49, post: 2696828, member: 587874"] Thank you so much for taking the trouble, thought and time to provide such a thought-provoking answer. As another reply pointed out, shakes etc. are not ideal because you still have to broach the issue of 'real' food ultimately. My reasoning is, I'll try it - it might drive me nuts - I especially appreciate your observation about NHS guidelines and how the shakes etc. might actually be following some old guidelines. Ditto the observation that high exercise levels might mean your staying at that high level ... I've actually noticed post-covid that I can only exercise gently anyway - any more and I get what seems remarkably like the description of a 'hypo' - trembling, sweating, thinking you're going to pass out, ravenously hungry, nauseous etc. I think this is a combination of the diabetes and the post-covid syndrome because covid does lots of weird things to you - it's not just respiration, but glucose metabolism, haematological processes, endocrine issues etc. First time I was diagnosed with diabetic blood glucose levels was after a horrendous year of long covid. I'd had the delta variant and also I suspect a vaccine similar to that variant. And the D variant seems to be particularly bad at putting peeps into novel diabetes. At that time, I wasn't exercising at all. I just dieted on the fast '900' for 3 months and got down to 46. [/QUOTE]
