@celia16 I've been pre-diabetic for about 10 years according to my docs. My A1C has never exceeded 6.0 and my docs didn't seem to be concerned but I don't like being told I'm pre-diabetic because my blood sugar is always above 100 and nothing seems to bring it down. I'm going to try the 3-4 day fast to see if my insulin resistance will reset and then maintain a low carb diet and see what happens with my blood sugar.

@ibchispas , I see. Well, it’s good you are aware and diligent with the numbers. As far as naturally getting them down….I hope you find a solution that helps. During my career in diabetes, I’ve attended many conferences, seminars, etc. I’m no expert, but it’s my understanding that even if you do everything right, higher numbers often get higher over time. This is due to no fault of the patient. This is common even with meds, great diet and good control. I think the new meds to lower BG has made a huge difference in helping with this. I realize you were concerned about a med that caused pancreatitis. Are you sure that was your situation? I ask because meds like Ozempic are thought to offer protection to the heart and from heart attacks. With your numbers, would your doctors even consider prescribing it?
Good luck with everything.

@ibchispas Good for you for digging in and getting past these 'comfort zones'. My recollection is that you may have to run several long fasting sessions, with a sensible, safe, break in between, and then you'll possibly, hopefully, begin to see a tweaking of those numbers. I don't recall reading or watching a video where one of the gurus said he reversed his pre-diabetes in a single 48 hr fast. I seem to remember it taking several weeks until the white flag went up.
