I, too, found IF lowered my blood glucose numbers. I’m prediabetic and was looking for something to keep me from diabetes. You say you drink a cup of tea in the morning, do you add creamer? Dr Jason Fung says no creamer or any sweetener, some say less than 50 calories from fat won’t break a fast. There are different opinions about this breaking a fast. But since you’ve had success I’d like to know what you do.
