[QUOTE="cugila, post: 146764, member: 15325"] Are you a Muslim or of another faith ? We had this question asked previously by a Muslim member and the answer was that it can be done but you need to discuss it with your GP first. There are some scholars of that Faith who say you MUST fast, and there are others who say because of your Diabetes you don't need to. Something you also might need to discuss. If you do attempt a fast, you must be aware that that could lead to your body 'liver dumping' and significantly raising your BG levels, if you continue to go without food it will get worse and the levels will climb higher. Throughout the whole of any fast you should check your Bg levels frequently so that you are aware of what is happening. It is not something that is medically approved but it does happen with the caveat as pointed out in this post. Discuss with your GP first. Ken [/QUOTE]
