[QUOTE="pw1976, post: 1372357, member: 306503"] Hi - I am T1 and do the 5:2 regularly. Since I started I have lost about 10kg to take me to 75kg. I am now in maintenance mode doing 6:1 most weeks and stepping up to 5:2 after holidays etc. I wouldn't recommend doing it without a CGM because the impact is sometimes surprising, especially to start with. I have got into the way of it now. I don't adjust my basel dose at all. I take very little fast acting insulin at all maybe 2-4 units all day because the food I do eat is almost zero carbs. I think it really works and I always feel GREAT on the day after a fast. One note on motivation: the first couple of weeks are really tough but then it gets much much easier. I hate diets in generally but this one is really easy and you can eat normally most days. The fast diet webpage is a good resource and I would recommend the book too. [/QUOTE]
