Evening all. I am gracefully bowing out of this one. Have been feeling out of sorts with episodes of low blood pressure, strange appetite patterns for a couple of weeks (reluctantly off to the docs tomorrow) so think it best to wait until I’m back on an even keel before attempting a longer fast. Will be following you all with interest and intend to join in another time.
No worries.. sounds like a very sensible plan. Hope you find out what's up quickly. Get well soon.. we'll miss ya!

Sorry to hear this @Goonergal hope that you get back on an even keel soonEvening all. I am gracefully bowing out of this one.

Just about to break fast after 72 hours. Final readings were 3.8 bg and 2.9 ketones. Hope you all manage to stay fasted as long as you aim to. I will check in to see how everyone goes. @Goonergal I think you made the right decision and look forward to doing this with you another time.
@rab5 How does one measure ketones?
I've just completed an approx 19 hour unplanned fast - ate a light supper around midnight and started next meal a 7pm tonight finishing about 15 mins ago. I'm quite good at this level of "erratic " fasting, but I don't do planned ones, so wasn't going to join you after the weekend... but I'll add what little data I have if it might be useful.

I take it you don't like diabetes, as you sure are doing everything to reverse this. I visualise a grim reaper who was tapping me on the shoulder at the start, and gradually putting distance between us, the more effort put in. I reckon your reaper is getting smaller and smaller, well done mate 72 is awesome.Thanks @rab5 hope all goes well for you

Thanks @Mbaker It is as much about proving to myself and the docs that it can be tamed and others can do it if I can. I guess it is also about loving my wife - my pension will be halved when I die so she will have less to live on. You are giving it a real go as well. I reckon we might both have ingrained that mantra - go hard or go home :***::***:I take it you don't like diabetes, as you sure are doing everything to reverse this.
