[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 1814572, member: 473025"] I have decided to return to the original protocol of fasting until the target BG range is reached, and setting it back to not eating until the BG is under 5.2. This should enable me to have a pattern of one meal a day in theory. I will be aiming for eating at the optimum time of day, which is before 12 noon. I will return to multi day fasting at some point, but for now this method seems to be working well. I still seem to have a very slight cold, so I will wait for a couple of weeks at least until that has gone before I try a deliberate multi day fast. This will give me a lot more time to research the pros and cons of that approach. My weight is still dropping fairly quickly, so I am happy with my progress, and my home tests of blood pressure are a lot better, now generally reading around 135/80. This could be the Ramipril, or it could be a combination of that, weight loss and exercise. I am exercising steadily and consistently every day, and have started some high intensity exercise today to bring the BG down further. This seems to have an effect on the meter, so I will keep doing this every day at intervals. My general fitness and stamina appears to be improving, and I am now running up and down the stairs rather than hauling myself up them using the bannisters and walking sideways down them to ease the strain on my knees. I have also seen a marked improvement in aches and pains, and my index finger on my right had is now pain free and not swollen - it was very painful every few days, and swollen with a lot of tenderness on the first knuckle. I have long had a theory that sugar and processed carbs cause inflammation, and this is one more piece of the puzzle slotting into place. My left knee is also problem free, and was very painful for the last few months - walking was painful and difficult after around 10-15 minutes.
