[QUOTE="Chronicle_Cat, post: 1979846, member: 486327"] Good morning all, 4.9 for me. It is warm here, almost tropical after the deep freeze and we are getting a thaw - currently 9 celcius (48f). I'm going for a nice walk shortly with a lighter coat & boots. [USER=496757]@SB.25[/USER] I assume you were told not to fast because you are on insulin and as well, you may be Type 1. Although fasting can be a useful tool for some Type 2s wanting to lower blood glucose, it isn't for everyone. People who take insulin and Type 1s can get hypos if they fast. Hypos are not an issue for many Type 2s especially diet only Type 2s like me. Some (not all) Type 2s find it helpful, it seems to help reduce insulin resistance Personally I find fasting a useful tool for both lower blood glucose and weight loss. It seems to help "reset" my levels if they start trending upwards. I do both intermittent and longer fasts for this reason. [/QUOTE]
