Wrong.Pipp if everyone exercised and watched their diet then only the real genetic diabetics would be left.....
Wrong.
All my life I've been very active.
At just under six foot three fourteen stone for over twenty years made me quite slim.
I have never had a sweet tooth.
Never been into snacking crisps cakes chocolate sweets fizzy drinks.
A wife who makes home made everything so not a junk food person either.
As far as I know there has never been a diabetic or obese person in my family line.
I had to start taking a drug called Gabapentin ... main side effect weight gain.
At the same time I went from being very active to very inactive because of spinal problems.
Went from fourteen stone to eighteen stone in a matter of weeks and within a about three years was diagnsed diabetic.
There are many slim diabetics.
Your attitude is quite dreadful and even ignorant and presumably fed by red top propaganda sheets.
Sorry Pip.I really appreciate your response to this @JACKTHELAD and @brettsza
Although I agree with you, I would respectfully request from everyone posting here to keep on topic. I would hate to see this thread derailed, or deleted. It is an excellent source of information and shared experience for Newcastle diet.
(Apologies for sounding like a wannabe moderator) I owe my life to Newcastle diet, which is why I am so passionately defending this thread.
@vit90 your fasting figures are in 6's right now if I was you I would have continued. I hardly go in 6's and normally stay in 4's and 5'd but when I have something full of carbs I do go upto late 6's and in 7's after an hour. I wud say I am more in 5. I hardly see a 4 but I do see it sometimes
Yep everything is good have a new lease of life feel like a teenager again we have glorious sunshine here in Birmingham at the moment so have been out for a 5.5 mile run around Alexander stadium@flashtash how's your newly found freedom going, will you be asking the gp to do an ogtt as well on you?
Hi all I'm a once Newcastle diet participant, couple of years back but let things slip, so as of Monday back on it.
Really annoyed and depressed about it, so really need to do it again, didn't put all my previous weight back on but a fair bit. I know if I stick to it my sugars will drop really quickly. Have there been any updates about a follow on diet??
