[QUOTE="Keith Evans, post: 1941637, member: 495769"] Hi folks, Thought i had better update this as i haven't in a while now. After starting this on the 22nd of November, I have been doing a Keto diet and some fasting, (up to 48 hours), and so far things seem to be going along quite well for me. I am basically doing 20/4 so a 20 hour fast 4 hour eating window, and one 48 hours fast so far, and actually found the 48 hour fast easy to do, so will be trying a longer fast before long. I have settled on the 20/4 fast now, as my norm, with the occasional longer fast thrown in randomly to stop my body getting used to a routine. My blood sugars seem to have fairly well stabilized at around the 5.3/5.6 mark, so quite happy about that.. still only about 3 weeks or so into this, so plenty of time to get that figure down a little yet, but at least I am no longer having spikes in my sugars when testing, and have now cut my testing down to just 4 a day to keep track on them , while i try and lose weight. When i weighed myself this morning my weight was exactly sat on 17 stone, so its still going down a tad, some weeks more than others. so a loss of 19 lbs since starting this Going to stop weighing myself every blooming day and just stick to one day a week, as its disappointing when the weight seems to go up overnight for no good reason that i can see. Maybe that will let me see the trend and not the weight jumps all the time. Still off all medication, and actually feel a whole lot better for it. About the meds i was on, i have been checking the side effects of some of them and a couple of them caught my eye, by saying that the medication can cause a rise in blood sugars! Why would a doctor prescribe meds that could actually increase blood sugar levels to a type2 diabetic?? I have my HBA1C test in a month or so's time, so you can be sure its a question i will be asking him. Anyway thats it for now...weight going down ok, but its still got a whole lot more to go,.. set myself a target weight of 12 stone to try and obtain, and will get there eventually..and i reckon that as i lose weight that should assist with getting my sugars a little lower. Thanks for the interest and the advice and help, its really appreciated, so Thank You. Right back to my fast! Cheers for now. [/QUOTE]
