Hi there,
I am not sure whats your BMI or age, or latest results. GP? if they arent interested particulary in the diabetes, they are just following a procedure. Now,
I am 39, and I have followed newcastle diet. for about 4 weeks. I could go longer, but I went abroad.
got diabetes about 2 years ago, and cholesterol through the roof. A1b was 120. Drinking fanta, and eating sausages,
went on 600-800 calories for about a month, dropped over 20kg, no ideea whats that in stones, I am fully metric, and went on porridge in the morning. from 4 meals a day to 2 meals. then I stopped taking metformin. GP, nearly screamed. I told him I am not in any diet, and my Ah1B is 35. and I am not talking any metformin. he did not believed, and he was asking me to take metformin again. I said I will take it, if he takes it, coz my Ah1B is like his one. then he packed it in.
take your blood samples, NHS wants you to save their moneys. just buy them from ebay. think about what are you eating, and the most is how much. work out how much do you need to live, and you will be shocked, our body can live spot on with few bread slice and some vegetables/meat.
the most important thing is: google newcastle diet. I did, now I can eat chocolate, if I wanted to. but I should eat 2000 calories a day, I eat less than 1600. and I will count the chocolate in. or, I will burn it.\ out.
wish you all blood test like mines.
