[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1154890, member: 269388"] I did it by stopping taking tablets (can't take them into empty tummy anyway) and reducing the total amount of injectables AND by splitting the dozes so that I would have more control over when the blood sugars started to drop down. Once on downward mode, I stopped taking meds altogether...or because I'm on insulin, I was able to take little adjustment injection with short acting insulin. After couple of days I didn't need any adjustments at all. BUT...it does involve plenty blood testing through out the day and odd one during night too so you really know what is going on with your blood sugar levels. Unfortunately it is really down to trial and error...hopefully less of the error. Before I started fasting, I was already doing very low carb diet for a period...so I was able to ease my body into fasting and already giving myself chance to bring those medication levels down..meds adjustment for fasting wasn't big jump anymore.
