I'm a T1 diabetic, needing to lose at least two stone. I've started lchf , and exercising. I was thinking of doing one 24 hour fast per week to see if that would help with the weight loss... I tried fasting lots of times before i had diabetes, and I loved it, as it helped curb the appetite, and I actually felt great after a while during the fast. I have my basal dose figured out so as long as I take that and test regular my sugars should be steady basically just wondering if any other type 1s have tried fasting as a method of weight loss and how you got on with it?
 
You may get a liver dump fasting for so long which will mean you having to take a corrective dose of QA insulin, but as your newly diagnosed I'd run this by your diabetes team first just to make sure you have all angles covered.
