[QUOTE="ph1, post: 663421, member: 135972"] Thought it's about time I shared this. I contract and in March 2014 I decided to take 8 weeks off to follow the Newcastle University diet. My last Hba1c in 2013 was 120-something and my blood glucose was 31.2 on March 2nd. I was 15st 5lbs on 2nd March. My blood pressure actually hit 210/117 just before I started. I was diagnosed with type 2 in 2000 so I've been diabetic for 14 years and my blood glucose rarely goes below 14 - 23. Results: I completed the 600 calories a day diet as specified by Newcastle and my final weigfht on 28th April was 11st 7lbs, my blood glucose was in the 4s and 5s and my blood pressure went low (89/67 at one point but always around or below 110/70. Just to prove that I had removed fat from the pancreas as opposed to just having low sugar due to the diet. I steadily put 2 and a half stone back on until today, 27th October. My sugar is in the 4-6s regularly and that's even after pigging out and a good night on the tiles. I've been doing this for the last 6 months. My weight is now 14st 0lbs. My Hba1c went from in the 120s in 2013 - to 117 in early 2014 - to 87 in April 2014 to - my last reading, at the start of October of 46. I assume my next test will be lower still and my GP said if my Hba1c is low for the next one or two readings they will be marking me as non-diabetic. It's a good feeling when you call for your results and they say everything is 'normal'. And that's all after having 6 months of massive over indulgence My sugar even went down to 4.1 after a very heavy night with some mates drinking Stella all night, proving my insulin was kicking in. I'm happy with the results and am starting back with normal food and lifestyle from this week. I thoroughly recommend the Newcastle diet, it worked for me, although some diabetics have asked me how I did it and they baulk at the idea when I tell them. It's up to you to do it. BTW I have no association with Newcastle Uni whatsoever and I did it by getting their diet sheet and info off their website. You don't have to see the lecture. Eyesight: Oh and BTW, due to diabetes, my eyesight was short-sighted before the diet, I lost short and long sight during the diet and had to buy some temporary glassed from Wilkos then at the end of the diet I had an eye test and could read the smallest letters with ease. Hope this helps somebody out there - Paul - Age (53) [/QUOTE]
