[QUOTE="ert, post: 2190461, member: 504712"] Fasting isn't recommended for type 1's as there is a risk that nutritional ketosis will turn into DKA if your ketones continue to build and can't be cleared as you don't produce any insulin. As ketone levels rise, the acidity of the blood also increases, leading to ketoacidosis, a serious condition that can prove fatal. The recommended way is good old fashioned calorie reduction (and exercise if you can). I eat 800 calories when I need to drop a couple of kgs. I suggest you ask for medical advice and support from your type 1 team. [/QUOTE]
