[QUOTE="aealexandrou, post: 2190369, member: 503484"] As a T2D I cannot comment on the health risks of a T1D fasting. I imagine great care needs to be exercised in regulating your insulin during the day. If your getting heartburn then the only suggestions I can make is that before you start a fasting program you prepare your body by going Keto and eating fats and stomach friendly foods such as yogurt or kefir. Start with 3 regular Keto meals a day to ensure you can regulate your insulin properly. You may find that going Keto and having gut friendly food will trigger weight loss on it's own. Only after your confident with a new diet regime and the insulin levels you need should you consider dispensing with one of those meals and adjusting your medication. You should view it as a long term project not a quick fix. Simply fasting for one day is unlikely going to do much, and if you are predominantly eating carbs your more likely to experience a crash and a drop in your body metabolism as your body seeks to accommodate the calorie reduction. By going gradually Keto your body will adapt to eating your body fat rather than wait for you to digest carbs. When you burn fat you will naturally lose weight. Again, because of your T1D take it slow, monitor your BSL as often as you can. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
