[QUOTE="chrestomanci, post: 2102203, member: 506549"] Sorry about my delay in getting back to you guys! I was diagnosed type 2 in early May and my goal in fasting is to get my blood sugar levels to behave! (Long term). I have been reading Dr Jason Fung's books on fasting and doing my own research also on how to do it safely. My fasting came out of the keto way of eating's amazing ability to regulate hunger and adapt your body to burn fat for energy. I started with IF and progressed to longer fasts. My 9 day fast was a good experience, so much energy, mental clarity, no desire for food. My work improved because of this and people commented on how well I looked. I had moments of elation. Around mealtimes I psychologically felt I wanted to eat but it was just habit, I wasn't actually hungry. My partner was very supportive and says I wasn't at all grumpy! I took electrolytes throughout the day and was very careful with refeeding after the fast ended. I stopped because we were going to a friend's wedding in a few days and I didn't want to be the wierdo in the corner sipping water while everyone else tucked into the wedding breakfast. I do IF all the time now when I'm not doing extended fasts. My Hba1c is one week away now so will let you know how it's affected my blood sugar levels. Hope you're all doing well :D [/QUOTE]
