Hi All
On the Newcastle Diet for 3 days now. Off all meds. BG between 9-12 . How long before levels drop? Lost 2 kilos already. Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Mairead,
This post also popped up on another thread, over the 8 week line, and I’ve answered it there

Hi Cherrianne
Thanks for your reply. I always found that Metformin increased my B/G levels. Strange I know. So upon waking this morning my fasting levels where 12. I restarted Metformin and after 2 hours B/G levels up to 19. Having read lots of different stories I realise time is needed to allow the liver to perform differently when on Newcastle 800 diet. I will continue with diet and hope levels will drop as the weight drops. Not sure about the Metformin at this stage. I am due my yearly review end of April and will know how my levels are then. I am not struggling on this diet but I do wonder why levels are so high. Many thanks for any imput. 😊
