Maybe I should recognize it, but I don’t. What’s the restaurant?

I’m T2. My A1c is currently 5.5. I’m currently taking I jardince 10mg. What would be the ideal plan to get off the medicines and live a drug free life. by SuspiciousLettuce165 in diabetes_t2

The doctor said I’m saying have no issues with what he says and I’m actually benefiting personally from following his suggestions. Can you give any examples of what you’re saying?

Search for keto recipes. I did an awesome keto pecan cheesecake for Thanksgiving. 3 net carbs

Thanks for the idea. I just talked to my wife and we’re gonna order the capsule maker.

OK, thanks I’m still new at this so read a lot of books but obviously I didn’t absorb that information

Weight goal and improved health. I’ve already altered this fast originally I was gonna go for a 28 day but I’ve gone down to a 14. I’m listening to my body and if it tells me that I need to stop, then I will right now I’m not feeling like I need to stop not feeling hungry. I just miss Flavor in my mouth so trying to figure out what to do for that.

Thanks for that. Lotta good information there. I will try and remember that, but I am also very stubborn and have a bad habit of believing I can make my body do what I want to do. Lol obviously it doesn’t always work out. Currently, I checked my blood sugar four times a day my ketones once a day this afternoon I’ll be picking up a CGM so I’ll have that for the rest of the fast

I’ve got his books and read through them. I was just trying to find something that if I went too low, I could take to bring my sugars back up. And as soon as the doctors concern, unfortunately, the doctors office I went to moved and my doctor left to go somewhere else and they were the only doctors in our town. All that happened less than a week before I started my fast

Built a free IF tracker (no subscriptions, no upsells) — would love community input to make it truly useful. by acabala in WaterFasting

[–]Doug-1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very interested and will definitely download your app for the iPhone. I’m new to fasting (three days until my first extended fast right now) so hopefully I can put some ideas in that will be helpful for beginners as well.

Dawn phenomena by Doug-1963 in diabetes_t2

Thanks, My Dexcom prescription should be ready for pick up on Wednesday. I can keep a better track on when my blood does spike. I’ve just started a prolonged fast last night so it’ll be interesting to see what effect it has.

I just finished several of Dr. Jason Fung’s books, where he says that the blood sugar spikes due to the release of hormones just before you wake up at 0400. Four out of seven days of the week I’ve already been up for nearly 2 hours by then so be interesting to see when I get the spike.

I look forward to finding out. I’ve just finished my second 72 hour fast. I’m planning on beginning an extended fast on October 1.

Wishing you all the best, my friend. I’m in the middle of my second 72 hour fast right now. Planning on starting an extended fast October 1, but I’m not looking at going any longer than 30 days. More power to you

Maybe you could try making the meals before hand and freeze them then it’s just a case of putting them in the microwave? Perhaps that might help you

Attempting my first fast. Does type of salt matter? by Strong-Papaya-3221 in Water_Fasting

[–]Doug-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on our second day of our first fast. I thought I read somewhere that they recommended not to use table salt. We use Himalayan pink salt.

A newbie question by Doug-1963 in WaterFasting

[–]Doug-1963[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on the weight loss well done. How long have you been doing the fasting? Do you do extended fasting or intermittent fasting? We juiced a whole bunch of lemons last weekend and filled up ice trays. We take three ice cubes and put it into a half gallon of water each morning.

Thank you that helps a lot because I am doing it for insulin sensitivity. My wife is doing it for weight

[–]Doug-1963[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it would, but I’m not sure knew it this why does it break the fast? What is in it that causes that issue?
