Hi there, I've been awaiting being put on Rybelsus for the last 6 weeks, but there seems to be delays on it being prescribed in area. I'm not sure if it is down to the CCG, but I understand it is approved nationally. Without commenting on the apropriteness of this medication type relative to...

Many thanks for your advice. I had been looking for a Private Consultant but so far have not found one whom is both a registered supplier to Bupa and also focused on Remission and De-prescribing. If anybody have some recommendations for Bupa Endochronogists for remission, that would be greatly...

Hi, My endrochronologist is the Consultant at the local Integrated Diabeties Service (IDS) of the NHS, they deal with all diabeties for the local GP's. i.e. I had no choice. This is part of the issue in that the NHS remit seems to be based more on medication control rather than treatment of...

Hi there, Its my Endrochronologist whom is not keen on testing anything other than Blood Glucose. He feels I'm amazingly well managed and I should just be happy just taking insulin with a fair A1C (7.3%) control, but I would like to do better and would like a conclusive dianosis on my type of...

Hi there, I’ve became insulin dependent within 1 year of diagnosis. I have high insulin sensitivity (HOMA), but low fasting insulin and C-peptide (<0.5). I’ve been LCHF for 2 years, but can’t get to remission and off insulin, although I have got my Basal Insulin down to 2 x 6 units. My DR...

Hi there, I have a similar problem (@LittleGreyCat ), Rasied BG from ~3am through to the afternoon. I've been LCHF for a year or so. My last Fasting results are: - Fasting Insulin is very low (1.8 mIU/L) - Fasting C-Peptide - 0.45 ug/l - Fasting Blood Glucose at same time of above - 9.5 mmol/L...

I think you can do a Free 7 day trial at TheFastingmethod.com. I tried it, but did not find I learns any more from the resources or forums. That being said, I have watched every Jason Fung video and real all his books. I find DietDoctor.com the best resource and do subscribe for that. Access...

When you started reducing Insulin, were you already fasting and if so, which fasting protocol / schedule were you using ? Have you now managed to get off insulin completely ?

Yes, I read and follow everything by Jason Fung as well as DietDoctor and have explored Virta. I have not found the protocols for stepping down Insulin / Meds on the fasting and remission journey, but suspect they are only reviewed when under the subscribed coaching and treatment programs...

I only took my Basal Insulin on my first. Owning, but not since. If you see my CGM picture, it shows that my Blood Glucose was low through that first day and overnight. It’s only been higher today. I will finish my fast in 2hrs, so will take insulin accordingly then. I wanted to avoid Hypo’s...

I normally take 8 units Morning and night of Background Insulin (Levemir) And then as I’m on a Los Carb, High Fat diet, I count the Mealtime Carbs and take 1 unit for every 10g of NovoRapid with meals. That being said, because of the low carbs, I take only take a few units over the day when...

I’m Type 2

During the 24 or 48 hour fast, I’m eating absolutely nothing, just drinking plenty of water. On my other ‘normal’ days I follow 18:6 fasting periods, So I eat at 2pm and 7pm. High fat, low carb. I try to keep carbs at no more than 50g per day. Plenty of salads with oil dressing, oily fish...

Hi all, I’m a Type2 and am on LCHF with 18:6 fasting. I have Basal and Bolus Insulin as well as Metformin etc. I’m trying to work towards Remission if possible and have started an occasional prolonged fast. I had my first 24hr fast a week or so ago and that was fine. I did not adjust meds for...

Hi there, That’s an interesting App for tracking. Which one is it ?
