[QUOTE="TomT2, post: 2026916, member: 388401"] Hi Luke, I was diagnosed in November 2012 with HbA1c of 116. I was put onto Metformin 500 mg 1x daily for the first week, increasing weekly up to 4 x daily. At 4 weeks I had my first Dr appointment, followed by the diabetic nurse. I had heard of the Newcastle Diet and told my Dr that I wanted to try it. He told me very firmly that it would never work in my case. So much for support! The DN was little better.... That day was the last day I took any medication. I put myself on a 'crash diet' and lost 7 kg. My wife bought me a glucose monitor and I began to test daily. I changed doctor (we moved house) and my new doctor was more supportive - although hesitant. So here we are over six years later and I am still in remission (ot reversal?) and I feel very healthy! I'm 62, I take no medication at all. I limit my carb intake to less than 30 grams/day. I am seldom hungry and enjoy life. The 'Experts' tell me that I am putting myself at risk from the (relatively) high fat diet. I asked how can all my healthy indicators suggest that I am healthy when my diet is not? Would you prefer I revert to my previous 'healthy' diet - which made me diabetic in the first place? Benefits (for me) HbA1c returned to normal levels Blood Pressure to below 120/80 Reduction in retinopathy Cholesterol levels in healthy range - triglycerides excellent! THANKS TO LOW CARB PROGRAM! It is superb, easy to follow and while it makes no promises, IT DELIVERS! Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
