Hi all,
I’m a Type2 and am on LCHF with 18:6 fasting. I have Basal and Bolus Insulin as well as Metformin etc. I’m trying to work towards Remission if possible and have started an occasional prolonged fast. I had my first 24hr fast a week or so ago and that was fine. I did not adjust meds for that one.
Now I’m in my 2nd day of a 48hr fast (currently at 43hrs). I feel perfect and have done my daily 5 mile walk as a breeze and full of energy.
However, my Blood Glucose is raising this morning even though I’m fasting. (Below is my Libre CGM-graph). The 5 mile walk did not bring it down either. Of course I have not taken any Insulin or Metformin today. My liver must by producing the Glucose as there is no other source.
For those others whom practice Prolonged Fasting and are normally on Insulin,
- what is your experience when fasting ?
- what do you do about Insulin ?
- do you ever get raised BG during the prolonged fast ?
Many thanks
Bob
