    New to 16:8

    Hello I’m type one and started 16;8 fasting yesterday. My overall control is 6.8 but I want it to be lower. I done no carbs for two weeks but didn’t lose weight, I need to lose 2-3 stone so I thought maybe 16:8 will help me. Can any of you share with me your success stories on this way of life?
