Hi , I'm Jan, diagnosed Type 2 around 6 months ago. Metformin prescribed immediately and then Gliclazide 3 weeks ago.
I read about the low calorie Newcastle Diet and started 15 days ago. I had to reduce meds within a day as hypo readings around 2.1 on full dose. I have lost 12lbs in weight and now only taking a quarter of my tablets, 1xMetformin and 1 Glicazide. Today BG readings 4.1, 5.2, 4.3 :)
Has anyone else tried the diet and had similar results?
 
Hello Jan welcome.
Congratulations on the weight loss and getting your numbers down.
I haven't tried the Newcastle diet myself but I know that it has been successful for quite a few people here.

Hi thanks for the welcome. I've struggled my whole life with the weight, but was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism at the same time as Type 2. I must admit I nearly gave up after the first few days on the ND, had to really persevere, but I can't really believe the results I'm getting. I have to keep testing to make sure it's right!
