[QUOTE="Hoping4Cure, post: 1445362, member: 393050"] I expect my health is improving -- and I can feel it doing so -- even if only for the fact that I'm losing weight temporarily, then regaining most of it but not all, each time. And not only that, but insulin resistance going down is likely also helping my few working beta cells actually do their job, not to mention cutting my normal insulin TDD by a large amount should also reduce IR. I agree that each FMD session doesn't need to be 100% perfect, and it's not necessary for it to be perfect either, since FMD is already a compromise from the benefits of water fasting so I think it's more like shades of gray. Today for me is just one avocado then tomorrow is zero food until I break my pseudo-fasting. Can't wait! Doing this twice a month is going to get easier and easier I think. It's mostly a question of mind over matter, really. Tomorrow I'll try to book a visit to the type 1 research doctor who is following me, to check on all my levels. Hopefully I can convince him of the merits of repeated c-peptide level monitoring. This is really the number which could make heads turn, so I highly encourage anyone trying this who is type 1, to get their c-peptides checked one a month if their endocrinologists or GPs go for it. I've found GPs are usually reluctant to do that test since they aren't experts, although I think that checking a number against a reference value isn't all that controversial or requiring the expertise of a dedicated specialist.
