Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr Whippy" data-source="post: 1434023" data-attributes="member: 28538">I finish my 2nd fast in the morning - The first 2 days were fairly easy, next two days were tough going as was this morning but felt miles better this afternoon / evening.I guess it's just getting used to running on ketones ? Blood sugars have been very stable during the fast, and I have cut my insulin back to zero since going into keto (apart from a small dose between 5 and 8 am) - I have had some difficulty finding out much useful information about how insulin works whist you are running on ketones but the first time I fasted 40% of my previous basal worked, this time it's zero for most of the day as I'm working on the premise that I have gained a small amount of insulin production (yet to be proved) and glucose figures have been pretty good over the fast.In the morning - Filter coffee, porridge, glass of milk kefir. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite44" alt=":joyful:" title="Joyful    :joyful:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":joyful:" />Last time I overdid my first meal and felt bloated for most of the rest of the day so I promised myself that if I did it again it would be small portions at first.Cheers - and good luck - Dave.</blockquote>
