[QUOTE="darenu, post: 1674296, member: 435450"] Hi again, Things have been going well since adopting LCHF diet, latest check up results - HbA1c down from 45 to 36, total cholesterol down to 4.1 from 5.8 (was 7.8 in 2015) and blood pressure down to lower end of normal range and I'd like to thank all of you that have helped directly or if I have just read your valuable advice :-) When I was first diagnosed 7 years ago, I was 105-110 Kgs and after adopting the low GI diet, lost 20ish Kgs and stayed at about 80-85 till last few months where I have have gone down to 72Kgs. I was always skinny as a child and the weight I put on later in life was mainly round the mid-rift, neck and face. Since adopting the LCHF, the weight has dropped from my belly and neck/lower face. I have a very sedantry job as I travel around the UK and basically sit in a car, or an office or in front of a laptop most of the day, but I have started to get out and walk to do the shopping rather than driving. When I first started checking BG levels, things like wholemeal bread would spike me from 5.5 fasting to 13-14, but just before Christmas, whilst travelling for work, I ate a wholemeal sandwich from Tesco for lunch (had to eat something) and after 2 hours my BG was 8.7. I decided to double check on things and have found since that pasta, homemade chips, rice are all much lower than they were before, less than 3.0 point increase and all below 8.5. I'm starting to think that the weight loss has improved my tolerance to carbs, but am very cautious as I don't want to go back to low energy, brain fog and increased joint pain I had suffered before. But, to be honest, if this is the case, it would help an awful lot with balancing my diet and work commitments. Not that I want to go back to eating sugary rubbish, but every now and then being able to grab a sandwich or have a baked potato at lunch whilst rushing to the next meeting. Part of me is now thinking Newcastle Diet could be a real option and I wonder what you guys think? Best wishes, Daren. [/QUOTE]
