[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1192145, member: 22428"] Hi [USER=308607]@Barrynk[/USER] This is my experience of weight loss and getting off meds - it may not apply to you at all but it may help First off I don't want you to be disappointed and demotivated or feel like you may have failed by my story. I to date have lost now almost 12st - down 9 dress sizes. I didn't do the Newcastle diet but am very familiar with the concept, the belief that losing the weight not how you do it is the key. Whilst I have been able to reduce my meds considerably from max glic to 40mg twice a day along with Metformin - I tried really hard to drop that last bit of glic but my body thought different - for about 3 weeks on no meds and 20g of carbs a day I was doing fine but numbers were slowly creeping back up - I began to see double figures that I hadn't seen for 3 years- I had to go back on the lowest meds I could adjusting my carbs accordingly. Sometimes it just may not be possible to get off the meds no matter how much we try and want to - IMHO it means we have gone past a threshold we just can't get back over. BUT we still have success - keep going you are doing great and have achieved a lot - it's early days and it may be just a blip - please don't let what I've said demotivate you any progress is a success and should be relished [/QUOTE]
