[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 664402, member: 100904"] Hi, [USER=135972]@ph1[/USER] I am quite concerned by your post. Whilst I congratulate you for the progress you have made, and for having the willpower to complete a period of Newcastle dieting, with a good reduction in blood glucose levels in HbA1c test and a good weight reduction, i cannot advocate the '6 months of massive overindulgence' you have reported. Not wanting to take anything from your achievements, but I believe this overindulgence is almost an extreme form of 'Russian roulette', and think you are very fortunate not to have, once again, big increases in blood glucose levels and weight gain. Your HbA1c levels still have a way to go before you can be deemed non-diabetic, and it could be possible that your diabetes medication has played a major part in the BG control you have reported. Sorry if you don't like what I am saying here. I say it out of concern for yourself, and for anyone else reading your post who may be thinking about following your example. Surely having had a modicum of success with Newcastle dieting method, it is very unwise to return to a way of eating and drinking that causes weight gain and risks diabetic blood glucose levels again. Although you have reported HbA1c of 46, this still is high for someone who has/had T2 diabetes, so I urge you to be cautious. I speak from experience, having had over 3 years of non-diabetic HbA1c results following Newcastle dieting. However, having allowed myself to be encouraged to test limits through consuming high carb foods in massive quantities, I regained 2stones of the 6 I had previously lost. There was a slight rise in HbA1c levels, though still below that considered diabetic, but I found it very difficult to return to low carb, sensible eating once I started experimenting. Please do not ever get complacent about diabetes. It is a sneaky so and so, and we need to remain vigilant, no matter how well we think we are doing. Please take care of yourself, [USER=135972]@ph1[/USER], and do not get caught out by thinking you will never see high BG levels again. Wish you well Pipp [/QUOTE]
