Evening everyone.
I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 days ago. I’ve instantly taken the bull by the horns and am determined to reverse this by eating LCHF with IF.
The first 2 days I ate low carb but today decided to fast for 24hrs as I was away from home so wanted to ensure I didn’t make any food mistakes.
After 24hrs fasting (with 2 coffees plus cream) my SMBG Reading was 9.1mmol.
My question is, is it too soon for me to fast? Do I need to see some results through LCHF first? I’m assuming that this high reading was my liver kicking out a load of glucose, therefore wondering if I need to bring down my BG substantially before fasting again?
Thanks in advance
