Can you clarify what type of diabetes you have and what you want to achieve with changing your way of eating? It’ll help people to answer your question.

I have diabetes type 2 looking to try Newcastle diet to try and shed some weight and in hope of reversing diabetes
 
Hi. How many carbs would there be in those shakes as that is important to know. Whilst the ND diet will help, the key is to keep the carbs down and not worry so much about the calories. Carbs are the biggest cause of weight gain
 
I don’t know much about the Newcastle diet. However I have tried various calorie controlled diets over the years and failed to loose enough weight or keep it off. When I was diagnosed Type 2 I adopted a low carb way of eating and have lost over six stone, easily and without getting hungry. I have maintained my blood sugars at non diabetic levels for well over a year. I should add that I take a modest dose of Metformin too.
I have just taken a look at the Slimfast website and each ready made shake is 21.6g carbs, I’m not sure how many you are supposed to have per day, but carbwise two would be my limit.
