Fasting success

Wow at last ! after 36 hours fasting (with an injection of 500 cals at the appropriate time) I woke this morning with a fasting reading of 5.5

and for the first time some colour on my ketone stick (albeit still quite light)

Fasting is definitely working for me - anybody else with magic numbers ?

I started this morning, no food so far today just two cups of lemon & ginger tea.

I am a Type 1 though using a pump so am checking bg levels every hour.

I would have thought colour on your ketostix is a bad thing.

Colour would denote that I am in ketosis, simply that my body has begun to burn fat for fuel instead of carbs - not to be confused with ketoacidosis which is seriously not where anyone wants to be

if you do a search here you'll find plenty of info on the subject

Good luck with your fasting, remember to drink loads
