[QUOTE="Claire007, post: 889349, member: 184290"] Hi, I can't tell you how IF impacts on BG readings but I can tell you that it works for weight loss. I started in January 2013 and lost about 2.5 stone and have kept it off. I did 4:3 initially then 5:2 then eventually just 6:1 to maintain. I've only recently been diagnosed with type1 so I've stopped it for now as I need to see how different foods at different times affect me but I'll be back on it one day a week to maintain my weight in the future. The forum I have linked is really useful, it's grown and grown since I was a member and I don't really go on anymore, only to make occasional entries in the tracker (which is fantastic!) I do know that there a few members with diabetes on there and I'm sure you'll get some great advice. For anyone starting out, yes it's hard at first, make your mantra 'I can have it tomorrow' (you very rarely will want it by then anyway!) Drink plenty of water. Believe it or not you will actually look forward to the fast days, I felt great fasting! (hope it's ok to link to another forum, I'm claire007 on there too if you want to look at my weight loss chart) [URL]https://forum.fastday.com/introduce-yourself-f1/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
