Hello everyone
This is the first time I've posted in a forum EVER. So I've been reading a lot of Jason Fung recently. I'm type 1 but have put on a lot of weight after having my son and am now obese. I seem to be needing more and more insulin and wonder if I'm now suffering double diabetes. There's a lot of type 2 in my family so I guess I'm predisposed.
I tried to talk about intermittent fasting with my diabetic nurse but she acted like she'd not even heard of it. I'm confident adjusting my insulin myself but it'd be nice for a bit of moral support while getting started. I'm planning to start a fasting regime on the 2nd January (have a family get together on the 1st). Was thinking 24 hour fasts where I eat dinner each day. I've got about 5 stone to lose and wanted something where I'd see progress fast. I've got lots of bone broth and green tea on standby. Apart from hypos, my main problem when I've tried bits of fasting in the last few months was heartburn.
Any advice? Is anyone else planning to lose weight in the new year?
Thanks
