[QUOTE="Mr Whippy, post: 1542003, member: 28538"] Well I'm long overdue for an update - It's been 6 months since I started doing the FMD with avocados, that's 6 sessions of 5 days each. And my conclusion is - it isn't working for me unfortunately. Session 1 got me some reasonably impressive results but since then there have been no really meaningful improvements that have built on the previous result, in fact my A1C has gone slightly worse. Although each diet session got slightly easier to do as I went on, I found every single one tough going and I seem to have developed a loathing of avocados ! So I'm giving the FMD up as a bad job, it ain't working for me - however I wish the rest of you who are trying it out every success. My personal guess is that my autoimmune response is undoing any benefit that the diet gives me, and that my initial notable result from diet 1 (which does seem to have lasted) was probably due to a loss of visceral fat helping my insulin sensitivity. So I have now switched back to my tried & trusted 5:2 diet with a once or twice a week HIT session. That holds my weight down (I have always put the weight on very easily, even long before my T1 diagnosis - If I don't put some daily effort into weight management I know the pounds will pile back on). I am also trying to get a lot more probiotics and prebiotics into my diet, and I'm supplementing with potato starch, which is helping me sleep better. Well the FMD was an interesting experiment, and I hope that at least some of you guys will get positive end results out of it. Cheers - Dave. [/QUOTE]
