5.3 - bit like a present of a nice enough pair of socks which are not the Barbour wool ones you would buy yourself. In both cases if I smile and think it could be worse it does not change reality. Have a great day or deal with life's slurry stoically.

How long do you fast for @eddie07 ?:)
48 hours only this time. Did a 5 day water fast only earlier this month and succeeded in reducing my FBG levels from 8.2 to 4.4.
Once I broke the fast FBG started creeping upwards.
I am hoping to do a longer fast starting Monday next week. Why?
Just to detox and giving the body a chance to heal itself.

Hope all goes well with the fast. I did a series of these earlier in the year. Did nothing for hba1c but did take my weight below a BMI of 22. Adversely affected cholesterol (which some research suggests) and general well being. It has taken about 5 months to effect repairs. Hope you have good results as many others have - I hope I am an anomaly.
