Day 49 - fasting blood down to 5.4. No more weight loss. All good.
Great to see so many of you guys on this blog.
Re FBG readings - I have found that blood meters vary considerably from one to another. If you can compare your readings using a second meter, it would be interesting to see if they are the same.
Fasting blood readings can also be effected by the DP

so - try taking a reading before you go to sleep and another in the morning.
(Apologies for stating what you may already know).
I found that a ridiculous amount of water during the day really flushed out the system and gave me a low reading the next morning. We have one of those filter jugs - I think it is about 1ltr. I emptied it 3 times - and had other drinks as well. Constant peeing - but it seemed to really work for me on the FBG.
I also understand that the effect of the ND is not in the weight loss itself - but in the 'rapid' weight loss. It's not so much about losing weight - but where you lose it from. The liver and pancreas - in particular, need to be cleared out to below your 'personal' fat threshold. While I have banged on about BMI etc...that is only a goal for me because I can see it. I cant see my liver or pancreas - but I can read the numbers on the scales. But I do not want to fall foul of the MacNamara fallacy;

The point of the ND for all of us, is to clear the liver and pancreas - and reverse T2. (again apologies for stating the bleeding obvious). I know I have been guilty of losing focus and talking about food, weight loss and side effects - but I did have a moment just two days ago when I had a rather odd feeling that I had crossed my personal fat threshold. Cant explain why I had the feeling, but my bloods have been relatively stable and not spiking since that moment. And interestingly still lowering over time. I doubt very much that it is as simple as this - not a sudden change - like flicking a switch - that may have just been an epiphany.
So - maybe, just maybe, the ND has worked for me. I do plan on getting this confirmed by my DN - then - if I'm right - celebrating with a bottle of something cold and bubbly! (followed by a few brandy and diet gingers!!!!).
End of thought stream......
Keep going everyone - and keep telling us how you are getting on.
