There seemed to me to be several threads in the one programme - one of them being that the 4 day fast, whilst promoting a reduction of IGF-1 it wasn't something that 'normal' people could stick to whereas the ADF or 5:2 showed significant gains, whilst being do-able by joe bloggs As for the...

yesterdays bg 5.5 this morning 5.6 so no liver dumps during my fasting normal waking bg for me averages 6.9 ( higher that my postprandial levels which avg 6.3 ) Gilly x

well me too, but where did we read it, who told us ... and why ? an aftermath of trying to maintain steady bg levels before testing was more available/understood ? - (enlightened by Grazers post above) - if we were going off to do a hard physical days work, it would make sense to 'fuel up' -...

Hi Fiona, speaking as another new tester I also notice higher results in the morning (although not as high as yours) and other than the dawn phenomenon I can't work out why - maybe someone will come along to shed more light on that for you. When I started testing I had to stick to the same diet...

I wrote this earlier today - perhaps it should be here since its relative to the programme :roll: I'm sure that combined with my LCHF I should shed some weight however it was the bg, bp & cv controls that really persuaded me Gilly

Colour would denote that I am in ketosis, simply that my body has begun to burn fat for fuel instead of carbs - not to be confused with ketoacidosis which is seriously not where anyone wants to be if you do a search here you'll find plenty of info on the subject Good luck with your fasting...

A big thank you to Whitby Jet whose recipe for scones I tried on Saturday - I had been feeling a little hard done by so I decided a little treat was in order, I counted my carbs carefully so that I could go all out with scones & cream but I didn't get as far as I thought :? Seriously they...

Wow at last ! after 36 hours fasting (with an injection of 500 cals at the appropriate time) I woke this morning with a fasting reading of 5.5 :D and for the first time some colour on my ketone stick (albeit still quite light) Fasting is definitely working for me - anybody else with magic...

or just humour ..... could you elucidate ? :eh:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6.9 this am :|

Hi Elsa it may well be that you have a little fight on your hands, you may indeed have genuine concerns but you may be presenting in a way that the dr feels is indicative of your not being on citalopram :roll: Grazer is right, insist on an HbA1c test - that will prove your levels over the last...

The more I think about it, plus reviewing my cholesterol levels of cholesterol 6.3 trigs 3.6 HDL 1.04 LDL 3.6 Ratio 6.1 HbA1c 58 or 7.5 (does anyone think its weird that no-one seems concerned about my lipids and the only comments from the diabetic...

if you promise not to laugh ... I'm up to 35mins walking moderate pace - can't do every day yet (bad knees) but every other day smidge - I think I'll give milk a miss for a day or two and see what effect that has

Fascinating programme - Michael Mosley bg dropped from 6.3 to 4.4 after the 3 day fast ! and 5 weeks body fat from 27 to 19 I'm with swimmer - I think I might have to experiment tomorrow. :think: Gilly

I had a fbg of 6.7 this morning after fried egg & bacon at lunch time I now have a reading of 6.4 ( 3 cups of tea between waking & lunch with semi sk milk) is it feasibly milk thats keeping it up ? or am I expecting too much too soon ?

Hi maddie I am finding that a new sleeping routine is developing - I used to 'have' to sleep during the day ( maybe an hour am and a couple of hours in the afternoon) then I'd be up till 2am, 4am Since low carbing I don't sleep during the day at all and come 12ish I'm feeling sleepy enough to...

Geoff - still reading, very interesting thanks for the link Sid Bonkers - Keep the carbs low, keep fat low and eat what ? Thanks for the reply catza & Defren xx

gosh talk about disheartened - might just as well go back to low fat low sugar high carb (SW green days) and ask the doctor for metformin :? :( I do seem to eat more protein than fat - but I was under the impression that with atkins all protein in whatever quantity was okay - as far as carbs...

Brilliant news on getting your levels down and reducing meds! The fact that your are eating to your meter and have (thru doing that) got you numbers down absolutely negates the adoption of the new policy "He is pro testing but the other partners are not overly pro testing and have voted to...
