Intermittent 24 hour fasts. Started a few days ago.


Yes I’m very confused. But I’m working hard to reverse this condition. And change my life
 
In that case I'd suggest eating lunch..
I always get my lowest bloods when extended fasting but as we all know everyone is individual.
Well, last night I carried on not eating, but had 5 chipped butternut squash off hubby's plate to see what happens, as I have never eaten that before, it was a bit of a test. Tested 90 mins later and my bloods were 4.9 that was around 8pm.. Have got chicken with cabbage tonight. I am craving white cabbage of late lol
 
I usually find that if I eat some cheese my levels go lower
 
I agree with BulkBiker because somewhere on Dr Fung’s site he mentioned that if your glucose goes up when fasting, it had to have come from somewhere. Your body had it stored away and is now releasing it. Basically, it is not a bad thing.

I also had to laugh about eating cheese to decrease your glucose. For me, a nice glass of red wine really decreases my glucose response to dinner. Yes, I know it goofs up the metabolism, but I am always surprised how steady my glucose is with that glass (or two) of red wine when I go out for dinner. Wine vs cheese vs wine vs cheese...... Such difficult choices. LOL
 
He he, Oh I often have a glass of wine with dinner and, sometimes wine and cheese..Yes, red wine does help keep the sugar levels low.

Meant to say...If I eat an apple with cheese, I do not get a spike, but without cheese, a spike but not bad
