Hi Guys

I have read some great success stories on here of people doing the ND. So I have started it and on day 3. I'm doing the 3 shakes a day plus non starch vegies at night. Thought I mite keep a diary in here. First day I was 100.1kg, BS was 14.4. I'm on insulin (Novarapid) and took 12 units.

2nd day BS 9.5 and took 8 units of insulin.
This morning 3rd day, BS 9.7 and took another 8 units.

I'm getting hungry but in my weak moments, I'm hoping to be able to come here and read this and stay strong.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. I hope your Newcastle Diet experiment goes well. I don't know the first thing about insulin, but hope it all goes well for you
 
Are you doing this in combination with your diabetes team. As you progress through your journey you will need to have your insulin adjusted/stopped with other medications adjusted as well. Well done and keep going. What is the sorst outcome... you lose a few pounds and nothing changes with the best being med free reveral.

Good luck
