[QUOTE="Makoa Gibraltar, post: 2321685, member: 532132"] So here's a quick recap of my journey so far, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. Two months ago I changed the way I started eating and went low carb and last month I started the ketogenic diet. I've been on keto close to 5 weeks now without any slip up or cheat days. Since two months ago I lost a total of 30 lbs, and was able to get off insulin, Forxiga, Gliclazide, and Ramapril. I still take Metformin (2000mg a day) and my fasting sugars are usually around 5.5-6.1 in the morning. My last HbA1c test was done the day before I started eating low carb and it was 8.3% For about two weeks now I haven't lost anything as I am eating my maintenance calories throughout the day. I am wondering if intermittent fasting is good for type 2 diabetes? I don't know if I will ever be in remission of type 2 diabetes, or if I will have to be on medication my whole life. Right now I am just focusing on becoming more insulin sensitive through ketogenic diet and exercise. However, I would like to supplement my progress with intermittent fasting but I am not sure if it's good for me or not? I know that when you fast for a certain amount of time your liver releases glucose. Has anyone had any experience with their sugar going up on a fast? [/QUOTE]
