Hi guys,
I just wanted to give all a hope that the remission of type 2 is very much possible!!
I followed Newcastle diet diligently for almost 40 days and lost 8.5 kgs. Checked my blood sugar levels after the end of period and my levels came absolutely normal!! Just wanted to share it with people who are truly willing to do that.
The journey was extremely difficult as you don't get to eat the foods that you love but results are definitely worth it. Prior to starting the diet, I was 85 kgs and was on metformin and gliclazide. The BS levels were between 11-15 mmol. When on medication I was achieving between 6-7.5 mmol. I did not consult any of the doctors before embarking on the diet as I read a lot of threads wherein doctors were discouraging this diet.
It is extremely difficult as you won't be eating a lot of real foods that you love but it's definitely worth it at the end. It is important though that your levels should not drop too low as it might cause a lot of trouble. It is also very important that you tell yourself that it could be achieved. Keep telling this to your mind and your body that positive results are being achieved. Don't let any negative thoughts come in and impact your diet. I was losing 300-500 GM's everyday and now I haven't had any of my medication for the last 10 days and the levels are still normal. Last night I had a beer and biryani and my levels this morning were still normal!!
If I can do it so can you!! I now intend to go for daily runs and keep major part of my diet healthy.
I wish you all the very best and trust yourself that it can be done
Love from Sydney - Ash
