Did you fast 5 days in a row per month or five 24 hour fasts?

5 days in a row fasting. I don't eat anything after 7pm then have a meal about 3 next day, the day after that I will eat at 10am then something at 7pm but not much I just follow the pattern for 5 days this works for me didn't think I could do it thought I would be 2 hungry but surprised I got used to it and never felt hungry maybe others do it differently but it was on this forum I read about fasting

Yes I have managed three weeks of eating one evening meal only. It's surprising how you can train yourself to not need food all the time! Well, my body has plenty of fat it can live off for a looong time lol.
Your secret is you found something that totally works for you!
Thanks for letting me know; do keep us up to date

I did fast for 5 days out a month and limited my carbs no more than 20 a day

Amazing. Do you track your fasting glucose numbers?

Yes I do but not as much now always the same in the morning between 5.2/6.4 basically stay the same through out the day after my main meal can sometimes go up a bit but no more than 7.6

That's good to hear. Knowing someone who shares good results out from their illness means so much to me. I 'm happy for you. Just keep on having a healthy lifestyle, you are such an inspiration though to everyone who are still coping with series of complications of diabetes and those as well who are taking medications to somehow lower the risk of complications.

When I was feeling down and low I always read the success stories and gave me hope so I know what you mean it gave me that goal to reach and 3/4 weeks since this post my levels are still 4.8/7.8 at highest sometimes after my meals but that is introducing some more carbs in my diet and see what I can tolerate it has all been worth while
