[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 1680673, member: 30529"] Very good luck, [USER=459333]@AdamJames[/USER], with your changed diet and thanks very much for encouraging me. What you're doing makes very good sense to me because you have to have the energy to do what you want. I suppose I've scaled down my energy expenditure though I still do a very hilly walk every day, but only about 30 minutes or so. And yes, anything more would probably floor me. I did once try fasting just for a day without reducing the insulin and generated a hypo so it wasn't a smart thing to do. I guess if I was taking metformin instead, since it doesn't produce hypos, I'd have been OK. Adjusting the insulin during fasting would necessarily be tricky which is presumably why Fung supervises his patients closely when introducing them to this. I'll certainly have a look at the LCHF diets. As I come towards the end of the ND, I'm very positive about my level of control now. I can adjust my diet sensibly and I could always repeat a phase of ND dieting at any point. Since the liver will have recovered a lot of its sensitivity, and since the pancreas recovery takes longer, repeating the ND is a clear option but there are now many different ways of getting there. Thanks for your very helpful suggestions and all the best for your future recovery. [/QUOTE]
