[QUOTE="beekeeper, post: 269064, member: 43558"] Hi both. Keep at it. I'm just under 2 weeks into it and as everyone says, it's not as hard to maintain as I thought it would be. My bloods tend to stay at around 5.5 (although I do get dawn phenomon). I'm wary of getting too excited about BG's during the diet. It seems obvious that if we are not eating carbs (whichever shake we are on- the amount of carbs is very low over a day) or anything else, then BG will drop because the liver has nothing to convert. My feeling is that if the ND works, one of the reasons may be that the liver is cleared out of it's stores of Glycogen and so isn't creating BG, then beta cells have some time to rest and even to store some insulin. I think the real test would be how our bodies react to a cake and bag of sweets one year after we finish. (I'm not gonna try it though!). I've got a couple of questions about shakes. I'm on the ASDA shakes because they don't need milk, just water and I know the ND says no dairy products. Do your shakes come to 200 calories each WITH the milk added? The only drinkable ASDA one is strawberry, and I imagine I'll be pretty sick of it soon, so I'm curious about alternatives. [/QUOTE]
