[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1071186, member: 150927"] [FONT=Verdana]Now a note on the effect of high stress on fasting. I have had very high levels of stress recently due to country relocation practicalities and LOTS of dealing with companies and governmental authorities. I wanted to add in another two to three days of fasting in for this month, due to the fact that I had broken fasts twice in a row. But, I realise fasting is actually stressful in itself. Due to dealing with hunger, and lack of energy and the mood low on day 2 - I just cannot add to the high levels I have already with even more! (And therefore to poor Herr Svea's stress level.

To deal with that stress (the not being able to fast one!) - I have upped my walking in terms of time and distance, which seems to be working a treat at least in terms of giving me some periods with healthy BG levels.
