Your profile mentions gliclazide when did you stop taking those?I am indeed new, @Freema pointed out a similar thing in the other thread. I more than likely have a very fatty liver, so I will just hang in there and not measure myself by you more experienced folk.
I'm taking my Metformin, which is my only drug for diabetes. I do take fenofexadine for urticaria but I also stopped taking Omeprazol two days ago. Thought that would be a good idea whilst my stomach acid is going to be low. Apart from that I only take a spray for my COPD.

Ok was just going to say if you had stopped it recently then that could account for your elevated bloods but I reckon it is just your body say phew! lets get rid of this glucose. Had you done any intermittent fasting beforehand or were you still a three meals a day person?I should remove that. I stopped taking Glic after one week when I decided to control it by diet. So haven't been on anything except Met since.
I add salt to my coffee and take a teaspoon of magnesium each evening before bed. But over a few days I don't think it's too important.Whilst fasting then, how are people replacing the electrolytes? Or does it not matter if tis only a few days at a time?

The grazing isn't so great really. The theory is that each time you eat you trigger an insulin response whereas by not eating you don't. That's why I never eat before lunch and sometimes only have dinner. I realise you work odd hours so it might not be that easy to avoid grazing but maybe by having one or two larger meals it would help?I did do a 36 hour fast recently. My normal eating patterns are odd in that I will often skip meals but will graze on nuts, olives or bits of cheese. I'd say I'm more a two meals a day person with grazing. I am a big meat eater though and love my curry nights.

I hope this is a bi monthly event for the fasting troop...Full of admiration for y'all. I am now doing my 2nd OMAD stylee 24hr fast but this time with only 30 mls double cream in tea. I will hopefully follow this with an extended fast in May and again early June if results go well. For those who have done this before, does the body bounce back to pre fast fbg levels or have a long lasting reset?
Thanks rab5 and I salute you for your determination to take back control.I hope this is a bi monthly event for the fasting troop...
I have found that after fasting control of your FBG levels stay low with good LCHF discipline. Giving your pancreas a rest can only be good.
Brilliant..!
Nope.. well not in my version of fasting.. there are many types.. pure water fast, no food fast (which is what I do), fat fast, egg fast,you name it there are many ways of skinnying a cat!Good going all!! Watching with interest. Just a question as I see a number of you mentioning having cream with coffee/tea. Does that not break your fast?
