fasting

Hi everyone, I’ve only just registered but have been avidly lurking for 2-3 months. I have learned such a lot in that time and thank you all for sharing such valuable info and advice! I started to take my Type 2 diagnosis (of a couple of years) seriously when my HBA1C came back as 102 in March...

Please join this interesting discussion... Is there a direct relationship between the fasting blood glucose levels with your HBA1C? For example, if a fasting blood glucose level reads between 5-6 mmols/l, does it also mean a lower HBA1C?

i am inclined to believe that low can diet is yet another market-friendly charade to let you eat without too many restraint on quantity. What pinches hard is the call to intermittent fasting or to keeping the food quantities small. Restraint and self-control goes against the grain of market...

Hi I was diagnosed with T2 in Oct 17 with a HbA1c of 84 and put on Metformin, of which I should be taking 4 now but only taking one as I want to control this by diet and exercise [now walking 10k a day] So I'm self testing my BG and 11 weeks ago my weekly average was 10.90, for the past few...

Good Day Fello Fasters: I came across this article which doe a wonderful job of explaining intermittent fasting. give it a read even if you know everything about fasting. For me it is good to know I am doing things right and not causing further injury to myself from fasting...

Hey So I was only diagnosed with type one in September and before this diagnosis i didnt always eat breakfast, either because I would wake up too late or just because I'm not hungry in the mornings. This became my routine. But since I was put on fixed doses i felt like I absolutely had to eat...

I am a type 2 diabetic taking 2 Metformin 500mg with breakfast along with 18 units Novamix 30 and the same with the evening meal. I successfully managed to lose 10kg and halve my insulin dosage a couple of years ago after researching the Newcastle trials and reading David Cavan's book. Things...

As I posted elsewhere, I am a Type 2 of long standing (16 years) who went on a LC diet in June and has so far shed 13kg. I was on 36 unites of Lantus and about ten units of Novorapid when I started and two metformin a day. Consultations with the diabetic nurse (who has not objected to my diet)...

Got this book today from Amazon and it is absolutely amazing...MUST READ

Last week Wednesday my fasting mmol was 11.6. After starting Dr Mosley Blood Sugar Diet with intermittent fasting...7 days later this morning it's 5.0 which has never happened even when I was taking metformin. What do I do now to not let it get too low. I'm on no medication at all

Hello everyone :) I am on day 2 of a 2 day fast - my last meal was dinner on Monday and my next meal will be breakfast tomorrow (Thursday).- this is a total fast with only one cup of Bovril for if I get the shakes plus unlimited caffeine and calorie free drinks / water each day. I have done...

Hi there all I am very puzzled about this fasting and first reading in the morning. What is the difference if you haven't eaten since say 6 pm and test first thing in the morning say 5 am before the first coffee is that fasting ?

Hello! I have recently bought a blood glucose test as I am interested in tracking my results. I am not diagnosed as diabetic. Yesterday I had a fasting test result of 5.7. Two hours after eating it was 6.7. I did a test as soon as I woke up this morning (13/14 hours since last eating) and it...

This is a pretty good video on the benefits of extended fasting AND the importance of refeeding (simulating stem cells regeneration, rebuild lean mass, increases IGF1)... The patent for the protocol for diabetes is here...http://www.google.com.sg/patents/US20150004280

Hi all, I have recently moved from the UK to Costa Rica for a job for 2 years and I am struggling a little with my diabetic control. In the UK I was well controlled, minimal hypos and an HbA1c of 6.5 (when I left in June 2016). I have been Type 1 diabetic for 25 years, since I was 2 years old...

I was on holiday last week, I had a big fry up minus the carbs every day for breakfast, probably close on 1000 calories, then spent the day doing stuff before a smaller meal in the evening with three whiskeys to finish off. So probably eaten 1600 calories but with more exercise than usual...

I just received the summons to go get my yearly blood and urine test. The paperwork this time says "this blood test no longer needs to be a fasting one" - to which I shout hallelujah, because I hate not having anything to eat or drink except water until usually well past 11am, since the Clinic...
