I’m a 46 year old Type II diabetic whose recent HbA1c clearly showed I have been a bit naughty over the last few months! Having seen my GP recently she suggested I looked at fasting as a method of helping to control my blood glucose levels.
I recently read David Fungs book on fasting and have the following questions I hope you’ll be able to answer:
1 - I’m currently on the maximum dose of Metformin and wondered when I should take this during extended periods of fasting i.e. if I’m fasting for 24 to 48 hours or more?
2 - I go to the gym several times a week either weight training, spinning or doing yoga. I also try to go running once or twice a week. How do I exercise during extended periods of fasting?
I have a basic understanding of how fasting works but my concern is that I don’t need to lose weight I just need to try and get my blood glucose levels under control again.
Any help would be great.
