[QUOTE="BloodThirsty, post: 1971296, member: 489508"] The morning of Day 12 and my water only fast is over. To summarize, I started this because my 28 day moving average FBG had crept up from 5.5 to 5.9 with the dawn phenomenon variance accounting, on average, for 0.5. I am on no diabetes medication whatsoever and my HbA1c when measured in September 2018 was 38. Final weigh-in was 67.0 kgs and FBG was inexplicably 5.2 and 5.2 at bedtime, so not a rogue reading. So, from a starting weight of 73.1 kgs ( BMI 22.5) I lost 6.1 kgs or 13.5 lbs to arrive at 67.0 kgs (BMI 20.6 - the sunny side of the healthy weight range). FBG and evening reading hovered around 4.4 which was the lowest I had ever measured and no sign of the dawn phenomenon. Ketones reached and stayed around 7.0 after 4 days of fasting. I have now had a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast, during which I reflected on the benefits that the fast has bought me. Primarily, my body appears to have cured itself of the dreaded urge incontinence which I have suffered for 6 years... an unfortunate side effect of BPH which most old farts get eventually. My distance eyesight appears sharper although I have no clue how this might logically fit in. I have lost a shedload of weight in a very short space of time. Tied for first place, I have undergone a thorough system washout in preparation for a concentrated keto / intermittent fasting regimen to optimise my metrics going forward. That's all folks! [/QUOTE]
