[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1116892, member: 150927"] [FONT=Verdana][USER=48386]@Indy51[/USER] - I am shocked at you! In this instance. Actually. I pride myself on providing a more nuanced and fully expressed side of fasting - as it is not dealt with nearly enough, in my humble opinion. I think it needs to be out there, which is a big reason why I continue to talk about it to the extent I do. I believe you are jumping to a rather big conclusion about my hormone levels, in relation to cortisol and my health. And a very big jump to suggest to me not to fast. I have found having type two diabetes very stressful. I find getting better to be wonderful for my stress levels, as in lowering them :). And fasting is helping me get better, and maintain my blood glucose levels at a healthier level. Very good for my stress levels indeed. Many diabetics, and I am one of them, have big appetites. And many people are expressive. I'm just one of those people. I do not, as a rule, like unasked for advice, I have to say, especially when it is contrary to everything I say about my intentions and own treatment plan. (MY suggestion - If you don't like reading about my finding being hungry difficult, don't read my posts!) Saying that - I am very happy for you Indy, that you find fasting easy.
