[QUOTE="Donnadoobie, post: 1043642, member: 199062"] My understanding, from reading articles when 5:2 was first publicised, is that before attempting 5:2 Michael Mosley had a few high fasting results that his GP was keeping an eye on and then had a fasting result of 7.0 or 7.1, I can't remember which, and his GP was about to put him into medication. 5:2 brought his levels down and the HIT even more so. I have been 5:2ing off and on for about 4 years and when on it, it works, my problem is that I stopped when my Mum died and sugar shot up, tipping into diabetic levels with an Hba1c of 49. With 5:2 alone this did drop to 46 in 3 weeks but it did get to the point where this was not enough and low carbing reduced it to 43 in October. I have nothing to lose by giving this a go. I am on day 17 and going well. Fasting levels this week are lower than last week (5.5, 5.6, 5.6) and hopefully will be lower next week. Also my 7 day averages were 6.2 week 1, 6.1 week 2 and so far this week 5.9. I have lost 5.25 lbs giving me a total loss of 36.25lbs since starting 5:2 12 months ago. If it doesn't work, then I know I have given it my best shot. [/QUOTE]
