As on a previous thread, I did say that I was going to be a guinea pig, to try fasting after a meal, which would be very low carb, then fast till hungry or go hypo! So after having no breakfast, and then eating gammon and eggs for lunch.
My pre meal reading was 5.6
After one hour..................5.8
After two hours................4.5 cup of tea no milk, no sugar
After three hours.............5.2
After four hours...............4.4
After five hours, which if I had had a carby meal, I would have by now gone well hypo.
.........................................4.7
Wow! Well I never!
That's really interesting!
I have never dared to do that before!
I have always believed that once you start eating, you have to continue small meals throughout the day.
So in conclusion, though one test isn't empirical, it is a start!
It goes against the advice about eating every three hours or so. Or is that if you have a carby meal?
More testing I think!
Comments would be greatly appreciated.
