[QUOTE="champs0_0, post: 1919731, member: 155487"] Hi All and thanks for letting me join. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago as type 2 and really haven't take care of myself as have always had something more important to do, or, so I thought. Since retiring earlier this year (65) and knowing about the Newcastle MRI research for a couple of years I've always threatened to try it but whenever I have tried to discuss with the medical professionals it was always pooo-hooed by them. This summer I decided to bite the bullet, and not as strictly as I should have, I took to the 800 calories a day diet using Exanthe soups and shakes. I've lost about 3 stone and my latest habL1c (is that the right name!!!??) was 42m-mol. I haven't really had any support from the medical profession, as had to wait for ages to get another blood test and now waiting to see them as a follow up to the blood test. I haven't been doing any exercise but aim to start off slowly in the next week or so. has anyone else had a similar experience and have they stopped the medication. I'm sure that I really shouldn't be taking all that I take now, metformin and a couple of blood pressure tablets. Any thoughts, great site by the way. [/QUOTE]
