Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="youngmanfrank" data-source="post: 251504" data-attributes="member: 29375">One month after I completed my Newcastle diet last year all my results came back in the normal non-diabetic range,indicating that I had improved my insulin sensitivity.I have now completed the next 3 months off medication.During this period I deliberately chose to eat "normal" foods without concession to diabetes,but calorie controlled to around 1800 calories per day to maintain my weight loss.My latest results following extensive testing are as follows:Hb 39 (5.7%) and GTT 6.6. During this period fasting bloods have varied from 4.9 to 5.5 with an average of 5.2.The few tests I have taken 2 hours after meals have varied from 5.8 -7.1 with an average of 6.1.All these seem to fall within a normal non-diabetic range although possibly biased towards the top end  of the non-diabetic range (?)These figures are consistent with eating more and taking less care in my choice of food but are up on what I achieved one month after completing the diet.Weight remains constant at 12 stones exactly.For the next phase of this experiment I intend to be more selective about the type of food consumed eg no more white bread and pizza ,back to low/medium GI foods.I have maintained my exercise regime,running,walking and swimming most days and this will not change as it is now part of my life style.Other than that I feel mentally fantastic and have lost a lot of the niggly diabetes related symptoms,such as skin problems.To end controversially,it is early days but perhaps diabetes can be reversed?</blockquote>
