[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1159197, member: 85785"] Wow [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER]! What a lovely and considered approach to my concerns, I can't thank you enough for the time spent replying and for the really sensible and logical post. No other readings, hba1c etc has changed, I'm in normal range most of the time, it is as you say his warning to my putting on just under a kilo. I have not before our last appointment considered how weight is such an important factor in treatment for RH. It is hard to explain because we do need to get rid of the visceral fat, because that's how our bloods go higher than they should. A RH er should be in normal range as much as possible, the nearer the normal figure the better, we don't want any spikes if at all possible. If we don't spike high enough, we don't go on to hypo. You are correct in your assumption, that fasting has been part of my lifestyle in my recent history and the less time eating the small meals I have to eat the better. However, I'm out early (ish) and my job has a lot of walking and a lot of manual work. I was advised to eat before work and every three hours even if it is a bite of something just to prevent any chance of going hypo. I did try to fast during work, without anything but I lost my energy by eleven am, without going hypo, I just didn't feel to good until I had something. It's funny because if I'm off work, if I fast, my bloods don't go anywhere. If I have breakfast, I need to keep topping up throughout the day. Regenerative sleep is so important and I have more energy with a good six hours, any disruptive sleep and my energy levels are a bit lower. I think [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] gave me the low down on fat threshold quite a while ago and I have read about it before, I do need to get my balance of protein, fats and veg sorted, though my body is healthy except for my weird pancreas. I did think I had cracked it and was still slowly losing weight, I never have weighed myself, and I don't own one because my lovely wife would hurl it in the bin for some reason! Probably something to do with obsession and she doesn't want to know her weight even though she is doing well with her T2. I have been so busy that I'm not off work till next weekend and will be really busy through the summer months until back to normal working hours around October. My new job is moving and a lot of work I do is during the move and coincides with the season beginning. I am considering all options, I have already reduced some of my small meals in amount I consume, I have done without bread for I usually have one slice of Bergen a day, I have had salad for my main meal all week, and knocked off my yoghurt as well, just to see what happens. I still don't feel any different, but I know this is for life and will work through it. Many thanks again for your musings, I really do appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
