[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1461636, member: 94045"] I certainly don't eat "little and often". Doing that doesn't give your pancreas time for a rest, and can lead to higher levels before your next bit of grazing, which will impact on the post meal levels. I eat two meals a day (lunch and evening meal) with no snacks. At breakfast time I have a coffee with double cream and maybe a tea mid morning. People have different sorts of fasts. It seems better to start of with intermittent fasting (IF) which basically is skipping one meal a day, and breakfast is easiest to skip. This normally involves eating in a 6 or 8 hour window and fasting for the other 18 or 16 hours. This is a gentle start, and you can then, if you wish, move on to more intense fasting such as the 5-2 or similar. Whilst on Metformin, as this is supposed to be taken with food, on a day of full fasting you might think about skipping the Metformin that day. Just as a PS. Carbs at breakfast time isn't always a good idea as any insulin resistance will be worse at that time. We all differ in this, but I certainly can't eat any in the mornings or my levels stay up throughout the morning. [/QUOTE]
