[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 2165428, member: 136328"] Thank you all for your comments. Before diagnosis with T2 I weighed just under 9 stone. I never let myself go over 9 and fluctuated between 8 and a half and almost nine; about the right weight for me. Once I cut the carbs I dropped fairly quickly to just over 7 stone. After my second hip replacement Y dropped to 6 and a half stone and have not been so good about my diet to the detriment of my glucose but have put some weight on which is why I feel now might be the time to do my fast. I wasn't intending to do more than a 4 or 5 day fast and see if it kick starts my pancreas! My glucose is always high in the morning even though I rarely eat anything after lunch time. I had an abdominal scan and haven't got a fatty liver or pancreas although I know it may be above my "threshold". I am only on metformin, blood pressure good, only other problems are low bone density and arthritis which I don't take any medication for except calcium and vitamin D. Interested to hear if any other "skinnies" have iried a fast and how they got on. I am a retired biochemist so know the pros and cons but would love to be able to eat a less restricted diet and have my glucose under better control to avoid the side effects of. a high glucose.
