[QUOTE="Foxytina, post: 1879106, member: 122302"] Since January I've been following LCHF strictly and have lost 3.5 stone. Need to lose another 2 stone. My weight loss seems to have stalled so decided to try fasting to see if it would help. Missing breakfast seemed the best option as I'm usually not hungry first thing. Being type1 I was a bit concerned but decided to give it a try. I am on day 5 now. Unfortunately my blood sugars rise during the morning and I've had to take a small dose (4 units) of short acting (Humalog) first thing to prevent this happening. I believe part of the purpose for fasting is to reduce insulin levels. My question is if I'm introducing insulin is there any point in fasting or will it still work? I realise my basal (Lantus) may be the problem for the rise. However if I increase it I get into trouble with lows overnight. For info, I have been type1 for 42 years. Good control. Last 3 HbA1c's 40, 43, 43. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
