Simplest Fasting - Gradually More Perhaps Later

I do wish the medical profession - and the media - wouldn't put everything down to weight! For years, I wouldn't go to the doctor because I was badly overweight, and I was convinced they'd tell me that my sore throat (or whatever) was because I was fat! I was at boarding-school, and whenever you had a problem you were asked if you were on your period, even if it was something like an ingrowing toenail; if you were, that was the problem, if not, then there was no problem!

Overnight fasting works well - don't eat anything after your evening meal until breakfast next day. And maybe try to put the one 30 minutes earlier and the other 30 minutes later? Many people do 16-8; all your meals in an 8-hour window. I can't do that, but I do try to do 14-10. Also, if you do eat carbs (many people limit them to the max), try to make them as low-GI as possible.

P.S. You are on almost the exact same medications as I am, only I also have to take a blood thinner and am on a trial of oral semaglutide, which aims to find out if it protects people with diabetes from strokes and heart attacks! I rattle....

@Tiz I started out eating at 12 hourly intervals rather than pushing two meals into a few hours. It seemed easiest as it meant I was able to go off and do things more easily than having to carry food with me. and stop to eat it.
Gradually I began to eat less frequently as I would be distracted and not eat until late in the day.
At the moment I am only eating once a day with some nourishment coming from the ground hazelnuts and cinnamon I add to my morning coffee.
I take Levothyroxine - 125micrograms a day, down from the 200 I took for years before diagnosis - my thyroid seems to have recovered a bit on low carb.

Low carb seems to lower blood pressure as well as weight and blood glucose levels, so I stick to it fairly consistently, but I have been known to eat an icecream on a hot afternoon when far from home. I seem to cope fairly well these days but I don't push my luck, or my metabolism.

I could not cope with the Metformin and statin I was prescribed at diagnosis, but thankfully I didn't need them, not for the type 2 and I lost a lot of weight - 12 inches off my waist - but I was just about spherical at diagnosis and have needed to replace all my clothes several times since then as I shrank out of them.

In the beginning, I never intended to fast - it happened quite naturally because I wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat. Left to myself I can easily go a couple of days with fluids only. I don't have any medication to be considered.

The issue for me is that eating a meal (generally) is a social occasion, not just fuelling. I've never tried fasting while the rest of the household is eating normally - I suspect it would be a lot more difficult.
