HI Bebo An interesting result. Small sample - bu that is not a criticism. What I think is worth considering is the extent to which people have managed their goals through being part of a group. I do work with doctors - specialists - and they seem genuinely interested in the 'method' of reversal...

Made it. It is now the morning after the 7 day fast. I have lost 6.5 kg. Blood was down to 3.4 (oops!). Hand pain has considerably subsided - still there in the background, but much better overall. Gota go - time for breakfast!

Evening all. Didn't post this morning - but all good. Blood was 5.4. Weight down 5.6kg. Hand pain is subsiding. Happy with that. Not sure if this is conclusive or scientific but l can say that a 7 day fast has done something good for my weight (not a shock) my blood ( to be expected) and my...

Morning Fellow Diabies Woke up this morning to a further weight loss - in total now 5.2 kg since I started this experiment. Bloods had raised slightly from yesterday to 5.5 - can work that out. But still good. Hand pain has also come back slightly stronger. Wonder if the blood count and pain...

Morning fellow Diabies Day four is over - day five begins. Bloods 4.6!!!! All good. Weight still down. But - I woke up at 3.30 (typical DP) then fell into a deep sleep and woke to my alarm - with no energy. Flat battery. However - the hand pain has eased!!!! Not figured that one out yet.

Thanks BB

Day 4 I got over the hump. I'm beyond hunger now and am riding the crest of the wave of achievement. My mind is particularly sharp - and energy levels high - so I must be drawing fuel from somewhere! Blood is now sitting nicely inside normal range and weight is down an incredible 3.6kg. Still...

Day 3 - the 'Hump'! After 2 days the weight is down (considerably) by 2.7 kg. Must be mostly water. I feel I have gone into ketosis (if having a white tongue and breath like a camels armpit are any indication), But blood levels are not falling much - hovering just above normal.

Hi Bebo Agree - media does not explore it's own bias, or flawed science - Gillian McKieth - case to point! I though they did emphasis diet as a control - but as you say, not in balance or with as much graphic footage. I guess it's not as televisual to show an image of an aircraft that lands...

Hi Bebo Yep - watched 'Retreat'. Also saw that 'Diabetes' program on BBC1 last night. I learned a bit that I didn't already know - such as how awful and gruesome amputations are - and how black gangrene looks on tele. The Retreat did revisit one interesting theory - the 7 day fast T2 reversal...

Just a quick follow up. Weight and sugar both down dramatically on day 3 of the fast. All good. Thanks for the links re neuropathy. Thinking my hand pain may be linked to arthritis. Why? This is a rather long bow to draw - but the pain seems to be mostly in the three middle fingers of my left...

HI All Update I have fallen into a pattern of 3 day fasting (Monday - Wednesday). This is my 3rd week. Don't know how that happened! It just felt right. By the end of day 3 I'm feeling pretty rough - so need to take on some solids. Weight up and down (as you would expect) but sugar levels are...

Good plan - but I am an 'all or nothing' personality. I have to work up to fasting in my mind, like an athlete prepares for a sprint. It works for me. In recent months my partner and I have been 'down-sizing' - motivated by a family wedding and the dreaded photographs - irreversibly casting...

Hi all The Dam Burst at about 1pm yesterday. I felt quite ill having by that time fasted for 72 hours. I had to eat something. It's tricky to find what to eat because your stomach has a connection to your head and just refuses most things. I tried a little risotto - rice being great for...

Ok - been fasting for 60 hours now. Only fluids. Weight down 3kg - bloods down too. Still have pain in my hand. So - the pain is either completely unrelated (which is what I suspect) or I am being typically impatient (which I believe is fair mitigation for a T2). Might give it one more day and...

Hi All. I did the ND last year. Dropped 27kg - T2 went into remission - Dr took me off all meds. All good. Weight bounced back a little - but still within 25bmi. Then all of a sudden my hand started hurting! Not sure what that is all about? Anyway - started following this thread. Day 2 of a...

Hi LBTB Following this thread with interest.

Hi AH Yep - tried that. It was good - but I think I stored up on the 5!

Hi Guys I'm post Newcastle Diet - but maintaining a low bmi is a struggle. I'm going back on the diet for a couple of weeks to see how this goes. Has anyone tried this recently? I mean dipping the toe back in for just a week or so - for weight maintenance?

Thanks AH. It really is a city that never sleeps. I am woken regularly throughout the night by shouting passers-by. And - I noticed that if I went for a walk at 4am as I am awake anyway - I am only within a minute or so of doughnuts, pizza, pastries etc...... It is a city that never sleeps and...
