Message: <blockquote data-quote="youngmanfrank" data-source="post: 269100" data-attributes="member: 29375">There are a lot of posts on the Newcastle Diet and some published papers (links also posted elsewhere on this forum).Read these to help you make sense of it all.Diabetes is a condition in which your insulin sensitivity is reduced,or insufficient insulin is produced.As a result blood sugars are not properly processed and blood sugar levels rise.The Newcastle diet claims to reverse this by de-fatting the pancreas and liver.Once your insulin is working properly your blood glucose levels will return to normal.Sounds simple but there are many unanswered questions,especially how long the effect will last once the diet has concluded.The only established fact so far is that it has worked for some people,like myself,who are now work in progress.I am coming up to six months and still ok,one of the original Newcastle volunteers is still off meds after 18 months,but no figures as to blood sugar control were given.My personal feeling all along has been that it is essential to get body weight down to a normal BMI,and that the diet should be combined with exercise.I have read that the insulin normalises relatively quickly,the rest of the dieting period is to complete the weight reduction.</blockquote>
