"WEIGHT LOSS COMPLIMENTS REVEALED DIABETES."
'In the end, I gave in and cycled to my doctor’s surgery, where he checked my blood glucose levels. They were sky high at 45 [a normal level is between 4 and 7]. I was astonished.'
Very interesting story. you can read it in today's mail on line.
Well done to him. I have not read the story, but positive stuff.
The article was very interesting and shows that not everything Is what it seems to be.
Glasgow University have carried out a similar trial and found the results very encouraging. I am 69 with type 2 diabetes, diagnosed 10 years. By using a calorie controlled diet of my own, lost 105lbs in one year. Half way through that year I was able to stop using insulin and by the time the year was up, I had stopped all medication. I now test my blood twice a week just to make sure all is well and continue to eat sensibly with an appropriate level of exercise for my age. Now at 11 stone (154lbs) and 5'8" tall, I am the weight I used to be at age 18 - just a few more wrinkles - OK a lot.
Once I got into the groove so to speak, I found the diet quite acceptable and never once broke the rules. My insulin levels had for some time, been getting larger and larger and at the last count was using about 180 units from a throw away pen - the Humalog 25 mix pens with my weight increasing week by week. I really wanted to keep all my toes and their feelings so decided to take this course of action. I now have no irritating numbness in my feet, my site has actually improved and feel as fit as I would want to be. This is not a fairy story, nor the end result that I want you to buy my book - god forbid, I just want you all to know that if you really want to improve your diabetic health, you can do it, but you will have to "want" to do it to succeed. Good luck
Hi,
Thank you for your story, very well done. I have been maintaining my weight for the last five years after reducing 6 kg. Now days my weight is 12 stone 4 pounds. I like co come done to below 12 stone, has been difficult! , I am unable to give up some of the food I eat and also I like my drinks!.
My life style change has kept me away from medication.
I go to the gym every day for gentle exercise, I am 72, because I am classified as diabetic, this because at one point my fasting blood glucose was high. I get blood test, eye screening and foot check once a year. So far so good, only time will tell if I need to go on any medication!
May be you need to write a A4 to NHS health check. I did one few years ago.
Take care.
I did write the the Professor at Glasgow University and got absolutely nothing in return.
As we age, our ability to maintain diets and exercise levels may well be affected, but hope that this effort and investment will last long enough for my mot needing medication for some time to come, thus halting the progressive nature of the disease. Lets hope we age gently and extremely well 
NHS medical people always say there ins no time!
When I got my HbA1c down, I want to speak to newly diagnosed people in my NHS, GP, practice. The GP practice did not want to know.
We have HNS trained specialist for this!!! Their loss.
Take care, enjoy one life.
I was given some praise from the NHS nurse during my six month review who said how sh would love some of her patients to realise the significance of weight loss. I asked if they ever run classes and whether I could help in some way - same answer as you - sad for the info would be first hand and believe it or not, free
