[QUOTE="jazgarden, post: 2065093, member: 505882"] As a very newly diagnosed type 2 who is floundering with terms and info I do have a little info on the subject of fasting. When I was in hospital I was inadvertently forced to fast as my bowel had become irritated and had refused to function. I was only allowed tea, coffee or squash and water, but nothing else. This went on for 15 days before they started to feed me via a tube. I lost 3 dress sizes in that time with no adverse effects to my health. I was obviously not well at the time and had no interest whatsoever in food anyway so I found the fasting to be easy. I do not know if I have the willpower to fast now but I will give this option serious consideration now as I have also been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid which explains a lot for me. I would feel remiss if I did not say please contact your doctor to discuss this option before jumping in, just to keep yourself safe [/QUOTE]
