[QUOTE="A new man, post: 1532229, member: 134738"] Hi all It has been (ahem!) At least two years probably since I last posted but here goes! I found Dr Fung online and it all made such sense I did a 47 hour day fast the next day. I followed up with 2 days of skipping breakfast, late lunch (3pm) and dinner by 7pm. I reduced my insulin from 12 units twice daily (already down from 20 units twice daily (which may as well have been water for all the good it was doing!) following low carb) to 8 units am and 6 units pm but unfortunately the 6 units in the evening was too much. I didnt dare go to bed with a 3.7 reading so had to eat a bag of crisps! Today I decided to try no insulin and only one meal (dinner). My blood sugar came down throughout the day from 6.5 to 4.8 before dinner and I was somewhat nervous when I tested after spaghetti Bolognese (courgetti not pasta) which had carrots onions and tins of tomatoes in followed by strawberries and full fat yoghurt. I needn't have worried as my reading went up to 5.3 after 1 hour or so and then back to 4.8 within 2 hours or so. I am crossing my fingers and toes that this is not a fluke and have already planned when next week's 47 hour fast will be! By the way I have been type 2 diabetic for 18 years increasing my tablets over the years until I reached the dreaded insulin in 2014 which I wad told was the usual almost inevitable outcome!
