[QUOTE="Chris24Main, post: 2685662, member: 585131"] I thought I should just pop in with my latest blood and liver serum levels. This is only intended to inform, or show the results in my case, having gone through Feb with a rolling fast - ie eating only every other day. I am not suggesting that this will work for anyone, and I only felt able to safely drop my meds and do this because I'm wearing a CGM; but I did feel very strongly that this was the way forward for me - I'm in no position to offer advice to anyone though. Anyway - that aside - my HbA1C has dropped from 50 in Nov to 42 (on the threshold of remission) now - and of course a measurement now includes cells that were around in Dec, so I expect this measurement to drop again when I take another set of tests in May. I had deliberately stopped taking Metformin, because I figured that my plan was to allow my Liver to exhaust its supply of Glycogen regularly so that it would go into fat burning mode - so I didn't want to take meds which mainly blocked the Liver from producing Glucose (from those triglycerides). I wasn't too concerned about total cholesterol or LDL levels but expected Triglyceride levels to drop (if my problem was fatty liver, a month of fasting should show as a sharp reduction in the fat levels - or triglycerides in the Liver). So - triglyceride levels were down by 25% to 'normal' levels. overall cholesterol and LDL were also down - funnily enough, the test result showed in all cases 'good control - continue on current meds'. I have also stopped taking Statins. With these results - I'm very confident of being able to reverse my diagnosis, and will continue on this fasting regime for a little longer, maybe one or two days permanently - it's surprising just how much of an effect it has, and I now feel very clearly when I'm 'digesting' and when I'm not - like a new sense that's come into existence... Thanks for the comments - I really appreciate and value being able to think things through on this forum, and to take findings from people with much more experience than me... Best, Chris [/QUOTE]
