[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1105067, member: 269388"] I've been LCHF diet now for 2 months and with some added daily fasting hours...14-16 hrs or until I get REALLY hungry. My progress with lowering blood sugars have come to stands still..I'm happy with my morning readings but after that they tend to hover in 6's. I'm now wondering about bringing in fasting in more drastic measures. Maybe first a full day two at the time until I my body gets hang of it all and I see what will happen (if anything) with readings. I just can't decide how to get on with my medication when not eating!? So if anybody have any suggestions...they will be appreciated. At the moment I take Metformin..and I'm taking Lantus which I take in two lots as otherwise my 'sugars' tend to go too low in the morning/during night and daytime I take small 2-4 units dozes of short acting insulin (or go without a doze) depending what I eat. I tend to eat 2 meals and 'little bit of something'/creamy coffee/ broth. When I have really carb low day I can go without short acting insulin. I really don't have any faith asking ideas from diabetic nurse..:rolleyes:...so I know if I'm going to have a go...I just have to figure it all out myself...but I just don't seem to get my head around it. Maybe I should do it drastically....drop Lantus into half doze and forget short acting and see what happens.. with little bit of back round insulin in my system, at least to start with, will avoid any drastic effects from possible liver dump? So what do you all think? [/QUOTE]
