I have prediabetes and I've been on keto for about 6 months now (recently on Carnivore and OMAD as well). I have already experienced some improvement, though not enough. Yet, there's a particular trend on my BG that does not seem to go away. Whenever I eat a meal, even if there's a good amount...

I've just tried for the second time 72-hour fasting. This time it ended up 74-hour. My average BG (7 days) before fasting was 87 mg/dL. During the 74-hour fasting, on the second day, I've got FBG 70mg/dL, but I guess before the dawn phenomenon period (I had insomnia and woke up really early...

Hi I've been on low carb since last November, and since then I've been on Intermittent Fasting, too. Since 2 or 3 months ago, my minimum fasting is 23-hour (I really enjoy OMAD), and I do it every single day. Sometimes, I go 36h, 48h once. I even reached 72h last week, it was very nice, but I...

Hi, I have prediabetes, I am a lean person (BMI = 18,72), and I've been on low carb/carnivore diets and different (progressively longer) fasting protocols for about 4 months. After a couple of fantastic weeks in which I would have morning BG = 75 mg/dL (no medication, only diet and exercise)...

I am about to complete 4 months of fasting, along with low carb diets. I've tried different kinds of fasting and different levels of low carb. I've started with eTRF 16:8, then 6 days a week of 16:8 and 24h fasting on the 7th day, then 24h fasting 3 days a week, then 22h fasting 7 days a week...

I am aware (thanks to this forum) that a flu or a cold can raise BG. But for how many days/weeks one should expect higher or erratic BG after the cold or flu symptoms have disappeared? My BG was finally showing values below 80 mg/dL after months of effort (carnivore/no carb/low carb/moderately...

Hi, I've just started my first 36-hour fasting attempt. So I've decided to check my BG out on specific points. My very first meal of the day had 7g of carbs, I finished it at 2:00 P.M. The second and last meal before fasting had 4.4g of carbs and it ended at 6:00 P.M. I checked my BG at 7:00...

During last year, my fasting blood glucose was getting higher and higher, sometimes above 115 mg/dL. Months before, I went to the lab and it was 97 mg/dL. I have a solid family history of mild to severe Type 2 and had a grand grand mother with Type 1. Hence, since last December I've decided to...

Hi, I am a lean prediabetic (BMI = 20,2), my exams show no insulin resistance (HOMA-IR = 1.00) but they do suggest beta cell dysfunction (HOMA-Beta = 44.26). I am not taking medication now, my doctor said we should first try to get it all under control with lifestyle changes. I am going to the...
