[QUOTE="Jamesy_Boy, post: 1509069, member: 419888"] [FONT=Tahoma] Hi everyone, I thought id take the time to introduce myself and give a little background on me. I’m 30 years old from Cumbria and was diagnosed with type 2 this year. I was at an impromptu health check at work which showed a blood glucose level of 12 mmol the nurse was worried to say the least as she was telling a friend beside me ideally there looking for numbers between 4-7mmol and would be alarmed at anything double figures. I was referred to my doctor and they did a HBA1C which came in at 76. I was then put onto metformin at 1000mg ( 500g twice a day ) they didn’t seem to do my stomach any good and after a trip back to the doctors I was put on the metformin slow release. I started to eat better and joined a gym which brought my weight down by a stone from my diagnosis weight. The days were still a struggle working a late shift at work I was sleeping till at least 10am and still finding I was waking with little to no energy and no motivation, although maintaining a steady weight the gym soon stopped, still maintaining good habits like walking the small trip to work instead of driving. After a talk with a friend at work and telling him of my recent diagnosis of type 2 he was shocked that I was so blasé about it, he told me of its complications later in life and proceeded to tell me of a study at the Newcastle university he had read about a diet of 800 calories helping type 2 patients go into remission, I was sceptical to say the least! But after reading the study by Professor Roy Taylor and watching his interviews and presentations on youtube I decided to give it a shot. Im currently on day 9 of the Newcastle Diet ( the hardest day yet) and have had some incredible results with it, there has been a dramatic weight loss, a big decline in blood glucose levels and increased energy and focus. I will be starting a thread shortly to document my progress and for discussion and motivation as I don’t think I have ever followed such a strict and gruelling diet in all my life. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Jamesy [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
