[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2558782, member: 25851"] Occasionally I have only one meal a day but most times it's one meal (which these days can't include much in the way of veg due to digestive issues) plus another very small meal. More often than not, my one meal is a breakfast of bacon and egg with the intention of having a 2nd meal later, but I don't get around to it for one reason or another. I really don't eat much in the way of calories or carbs these days. I do drink water, tea and coffee in order to keep fluid levels up since I ended up in hospital, dehydrated as a result of not thinking about either food or drink when busy. So, unintentional OMAD is what I frequently end up with. 2MAD also happens fas often. It hasn't brought my BG down and it hasn't caused me to lose weight. The Diabetes nurse thinks it's because my body has gone into starvation mode and is hanging on to everything it can. This has gone on for many, many months (years, in fact). I'm finding that the condition of my nails and hair has deteriorated - some kind of mineral deficiency? At 77 and no longer able to be active (arthritis), it seems like a losing battle, but I keep on, hoping for some improvement. [/QUOTE]
