[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 807939, member: 100904"] Simple terms. For me it took less than a week on a Newcastle diet to bring blood glucose to normal levels. They remain so some 3+ years later, despite still having some 5+ stones to lose. Whoever told you in such graphic terms what T 2 could do to your body did you a favour. Like many have reported, all I was told was ' It is a progressive disease, but you control with medication, and eat lots of starchy carbs'. I believe the starchy carbs advice was what tipped me over the threshold of T2 in the first place due to gaining weight on that diet. I think the attraction of the ND is that it can for some people resolve high BG. very rapidly. For me, I have been able to eat anything at all without the spikes in BG. Yet this is the 'catch 22' . Without the spectre of raised BG, and being weak willed I have indulged rather too much in the sort of foods that make me gain weight. Therefore, thanks to [USER=30013]@geordie90[/USER] giving me a wake up call I will do something about it. I know there are many who successfully manage T2 with the LCHF method. Tried it, it did not work for me. Gained weight, had the most awful abdominal pains and diarrhoea. So I think we each need to find our own way to manage.T2 that suits. Ideally I need to lose a lot more weight, then stop eating (ok and drinking beer and wine ) in the quantities I have been to maintain a decent weight for me that avoids the danger of tipping back to T2 levels. I am happy with the T2 reversal I have achieved as an alternative to other ways of eating that may still require me to take diabetes medication. I have not needed any diabetes medication for a year now and want to keep it that way. Admittedly, you make a very valid point, that we need to find a sustainable diet for life. ND is short term, but the advice thereafter is to reduce food intake by about a third of previous. It is very specific. This is where I have slipped up. Time to do something about it before I regret it. [/QUOTE]
