After the initial shock of diagnosis, I have read Professor Roy Taylor’s ‘Reversing Type 2 Diabetes’ book which was amazing. I am going to speak to my doctor on Friday about trying the 8-12 week fast weight loss to avoid taking medication. Does anyone have a recommendation for meal replacement shakes during phase 1 of the 800calories a day. I don’t think I can manage making meals. Huel have come up is that the right thing? Thanks
Thanks for the tag,

@ForMyGirls , It is a long time now since I used the meal replacement shakes. I don’t think the programme I used is still available. It was Lipotrim Total Food replacement.
If I was going to use the method again I would look for the carb content prior to making a decision. The keto slimfast product suggested by
@lessci look as though they are the lowest available. Though some GPs in some areas can provide NHS versions.
I would also point out that the Very Low Calorie Diets are not a quick fix’ and the Newcastle diet recommendation that people tend to miss is that there needs to be a follow on eating plan. If people return to the previous way of eating then they will gain weight and probably negate any benefits to their blood glucose that the VLCD had provided.
