I started an exercise and clean eating program back in August at 144.9kg , I'm only 5ft 9! Hba1c was 89 in June.
In October I saw something on the BBC about the Newcastle diet and started it on November 1st at 127.7kg with hba1c of 59 at end of October. I stopped metformin.
At the end of December the hba1c was 39 and weight 114kg. I had a piece of Christmas cake though and glucose went to 9.8 a couple of hours later.
Now at 105kg I had a bit of a sugar fest yesterday, taking in over 250gm of sugar over the evening. I didn't test glucose until 0600 today and was shocked that it was only 5.9 , now wondering if I may have reversed diabetes?
I still need to lose another 10-15kg so will be continuing with the diet anyway.
