It is the start of Day 3 and I have put my nose over the parapet for a weigh-in and blood measure.Thank you everyone for your kind words of caution. Although I am unduly obsessive I will not continue past the point that I feel unwell. I am now well into day 2 and am feeling absolutely fine and up for it.
Interestingly, my blood glucose yesterday bedtime was 5.2 yet 5.7 upon waking. By the end of this exercise I should have a much clearer idea of the dawn phenomena influence on my own metabolism.
I will sign in tomorrow AM with my bedtime and waking readings along with my weight.
My weight is 71.6 kgs and my FBG is 4.4, the lowest I have ever recorded. Last night's bedtime reading was also 4.4 so, like @CherryAA my dawn phenomena effect appears to have vanished following a couple of days of water fasting.
I feel really energetic so I will take a brisk walk into town if the rain holds off. I am not hungry in the least and my only mild discomfort is the lack of bowel movement since Day 1.
Tonight I will take a keto reading and report tomorrow AM along with the other measures.
BTW I am on absolutely no diabetic medication or statins, my single pill being an alpha blocker (Doxazosin) for a dodgy prostate (the trials and tribulations of being an old fart).
