Hi all
I have a very dysfunctional system with insulin running very high despite metformin
I'm on strict carnivor omad, but my blood sugar stays high. I suspect it's not probably insulin driven but my liver trying to get rid of years of accumulated bad eating and just dumping the sugar into the bloodstream.
In an effort to resolve this I've been on a Six-Day waterfast.
My blood glucose was around 17 mmol last, Sunday and this morning it is gone down to 3.9 but I have been utterly fatigued all week.
Unfortunately this means I'm going to have to terminate this fast this morning, refeed in with a cup of bone broth and a single egg omelette with butter, and then a slightly larger egg meal tonight.
I am concerned that my blood sugar has dropped so low. I don't have the shakes or anything like that, but I'm just absolutely fatigued and everything is such an effort.
My ketone level is nice around about 20 which indicates I'm well in the fat burning zone but I can't handle the fatigue and insomnia.
The upside is my body inflammation has dropped and my fibromyalgia has gone as is the nagging neck pain.
Has anyone else come across this situation? is
it something you can work through or something that you just get used to on successive fasts. I've done several 24/36 hour fast this year.
thanks guys appreciate your help
