Newbie looking for support to follow "Blood Sugar Diet"

[Mrs Mimoo]

That’s good I would like to try the diet about a stone and bit to lose was going to do the exante diet as the shakes are nice - but some of the carbs and sugar levels are high but yet supposed to help lose weight for diabetics - so may have two shakes a day and attempt a 3rd meal as a low calorie meal

hey, that is what I did after 6 weeks. I replaced the evening shake with lean protein and a big portion of green leafy fibrous veg. Usually a cabbage or brassica dish. good luck. x

The shakes are cheap. At the time, Tesco had three packs of ten on offer for ten pounds, so a pound a day.
I was morbidly obese at diagnosis, I did a low fat diet for around a year, and lost around five stone.
My diabetes wasn't fully reversed thought, and the Newcastle diet had just hit the news.
So I decided to try that.
I lost more weight, actually I looked so thin people worried about me.
But it reversed my diabetes.

The shake diet I found easy.
After a couple of days I broke my eating habit, after that it's very easy to decide what food you what to eat, as your body is open to reprogramming.

To be honest though, I knew I got diabetes by being fat.
I knew I got fat by overeating.
My responsibility, no one else's.
No one forced food into me.
Once I understood that, and accepted it, it was fairly easy to know I had the power to fix it.
That's just my story though.

Exante shakes are always for sale on ebay and offers are continual on the website.

I just wanted to post an amazing update. I bought the shakes and ended up having them myself (2 shakes breakfast and lunch and the rest of the calories in a lean protein source with some veg for dinner). Hubby has been having mainly protein and veg at every meal. He had quite a rough time coming to terms with the diagnose so there has been a lot of tears and fear and frustration in the household but also lots of perseverance; no matter what happened the day before I would get up in the morning determined to feed him the right food. I didn't count calories, but the portions were smaller and the carbs were very limited, only to the ones in Roy Taylor's list.
Today we got a call from the nurse, she was really excited to share the results of his test (around 10 weeks after the first one); his cholesterol levels are now back to normal range and his HbA1C is now 42 (from 79 a few weeks ago), which means he is now in pre diabetic level, she said that if he had this result 10 weeks ago he would have never been put on medication but he would have received an advice about changing his lifestyle. From 2 tablets of metformin (twice a day), she suggested to cut it to just one (twice a day).
She didn't mention his blood pressure, but I hope that with the changes it will be going down. I know we still need to keep going but it is that nice appearance of light at the end of the tunnel that just made all the fights and arguments of these weeks worth it (who would have thought!!).

Thank you so much for all the support and the motivation I just got from people chiming in to speak about their experience and reassure me that it IS possible.
