Fasting

Hi just wondering if anyone follows the fasting 18/6 plan ?? If yes do you find your bs even out after a while or are you still getting liver dump towards the end of your fasting period??

It's going to depend on where you are in your journey. I tend towards a 20-4 / 23-1 eating window regime these days and have pretty flat levels all the time.
I always followed IF since diagnosis taking only coffee with double cream in the mornings. My bloods were all over the place in the early days but over time I saw a general reduction in levels.

Hi @Tracie13 and welcome to the forum.

Like Bulkbiker I now try and follow a 20/4 or 19/5 eating window, with the odd day with just 1 meal thrown in. I tend to have a sharp rise in BG every morning, usually right after I get up and start moving around. Whether I eat or not has very little impact - it goes down in its own time.

Over time that rise has got smaller. When I first started out it was sharper and stayed high for longer.

Is the 18\6 regime working well for you in general?

I do an 18 / 6 when doing 2 meals a day around 4 days a week (except when business networking), sometimes by accident a 20 / 4 if I am busy or OMAD. I get a liver dump quite soon after waking,
